Etchings of Paris: The Gargoyle

Charles Meryon

Oval-shaped etching depicts a gargoyle overlooking a city. The gargoyle is on the right side. It has wings and a grotesque face. Its head rests on its hands. It appears to be leaning on a ledge. The city is in the background on the left. A tall tower stands among the buildings. Birds fly in the sky. The etching is in shades of gray and black. Text appears at the bottom. The image is on a beige background.
