"Matinée d'hiver sur les quais de l'Hôtel-Dieu" is a notable etching by the French artist Félix-Hilaire Buhot, created in 1879. Buhot, born in 1847 in Valognes, Normandy, is renowned for his intricate and atmospheric etchings, which often depict urban scenes imbued with a sense of mood and narrative. This particular work exemplifies his mastery in capturing the essence of a wintry day in Paris, specifically along the banks of the Seine near the historic Hôtel-Dieu, the oldest hospital in the city.

The etching is celebrated for its detailed and evocative portrayal of a cold winter morning. Buhot's technique involves a complex interplay of light and shadow, achieved through his adept use of various etching tools and processes. The scene is bustling with activity, featuring pedestrians bundled against the cold, horse-drawn carriages, and the iconic architecture of Paris in the background. The artist's attention to detail and ability to convey the atmosphere of the scene is evident in the way he renders the textures of the snow, the reflections on the wet pavement, and the misty air that envelops the city.

Buhot's work is often characterized by his innovative use of the "marginalia" technique, where he includes additional sketches and motifs in the margins of the main image. In "Matinée d'hiver sur les quais de l'Hôtel-Dieu," these marginalia serve to enhance the narrative quality of the piece, providing viewers with supplementary vignettes that enrich the overall composition.

This etching is a testament to Buhot's skill and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of urban life with a poetic sensibility. It remains a significant example of 19th-century French printmaking and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical value.
