Outskirts of Paris

Henri Rousseau

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene scene of the outskirts of Paris. A canal runs through the center, with a bridge spanning it on the left side. On the left edge, a white building with a reddish-brown roof and arched windows stands. Two people wearing hats are on the path leading to the bridge. Across the canal, a sandy area and a few structures, including one with a reddish-brown roof, are visible. Lush green trees line the background, set against a blue sky with large, fluffy white and gray clouds.
