A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: View of Pont St. Michel, taken from Pont Neuf

Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a cityscape. A river runs through the center of the image. On the far side of the river, a bridge with three visible arches spans the water. Buildings line both sides of the river, with a large church or cathedral on the left side, featuring two tall towers. People and a horse-drawn carriage are on the riverbanks. The sky is light with small clouds.
