Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a river running through a city. The riverbank on the left side is lined with tall buildings that have many windows and ornate details. A bridge with arches spans the river in the background. The right side of the river has a low wall with people standing on it. There are several boats on the river, some near the center and others along the riverbank. The sky above is cloudy and light-colored. The Louvre building is visible on the left side, identifiable by its large size and distinctive architecture. The overall scene depicts a cityscape with a river running through it.
