"The Outskirts of Paris" is a notable work by the 19th-century British watercolor painter and lithographer Thomas Shotter Boys (1803–1874). Known for his picturesque scenes and architectural subjects, Boys captured the essence of urban and rural landscapes with a particular focus on France and England. This painting is a fine example of his work during the period when he lived in Paris, from 1823 to 1837, and reflects his keen observation of the city's environs.

The artwork depicts a scene from the periphery of Paris during the early 19th century, a time when the city was undergoing significant transformation and modernization. Boys' portrayal of the outskirts is characterized by a delicate interplay of light and shadow, capturing the transient effects of natural light on the landscape, a precursor to the Impressionist movement that would later emerge in France. His use of watercolor in this piece is notable for its luminosity and the way it conveys the atmosphere of the location.

"The Outskirts of Paris" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the changing landscape of Paris before Haussmann's renovations, which dramatically altered the city's appearance. The painting is a testament to Boys' skill in rendering architectural and natural elements in harmony, and it contributes to the visual documentation of Parisian life and environment in the 19th century.

Thomas Shotter Boys' works, including "The Outskirts of Paris," are held in high regard and can be found in various art collections, museums, and galleries around the world. They continue to be studied for their contribution to the development of British watercolor painting and for their influence on the depiction of urban landscapes in art.
