Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France, Franche-Comté: Vue d'une rue des faubourgs de Besançon

Richard Parkes Bonington

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of an old European street scene. The scene depicts a group of people standing on a street, surrounded by old buildings. The buildings have steeply pitched roofs with multiple chimneys, some emitting smoke. The buildings appear to be made of stone or brick and have many windows. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with women wearing long skirts and men wearing hats. The sky above is cloudy and dark. The image is framed by a white border with text at the bottom in a foreign language. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene from 19th-century France.
