Place de la Concorde or Viscount Lepic and his Daughters Crossing the Place de la Concorde is an 1875 oil painting by Edgar Degas.^[1] It depicts the cigar-smoking Ludovic-Napoléon Lepic, his daughters Eylau and Jeanine, his dog, and a solitary man on the left at Place de la Concorde in Paris. The man on the left may be the playwright Ludovic Halévy. The Tuileries Gardens can be seen in the background, behind a stone wall.

The painting was widely considered to have been lost following World War II. In 1994, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the State Hermitage Museum revealed that it was in possession of over 70 French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, includingPlace de la Concorde, that had been looted from Germany by Soviet Forces. In 1995, Place de la Concorde was exhibited in public for the first time in decades at an exhibition titled Hidden Treasures Revealed.
