Etchings of Paris: à Bourges

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a street scene. The scene shows a cobblestone street with several buildings. The buildings are mostly three to four stories high, with steeply pitched roofs. Some roofs have shingles and some have what appears to be thatch. Smoke billows from two chimneys on the right side. The building in the center has white walls and dark shutters. The building on the right has an overhang on the second floor. There is a tree growing out of the ground on the right side. People are sitting on benches near the tree. The sky is cloudy. The artist's signature is at the bottom. The title of the work is "à Bourges". The artist is Charles Meryon.
