A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: View of Bell Vue and Pont de Sêve taken from the Terrace near Pont de St. Cloud

Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned landscape drawing of a river scene. A wide river dominates the foreground, with gentle ripples on its surface reflecting the sky. A sloping riverbank with steps leading down to the water's edge is on the right side. Lining the riverbank on the right are several trees with dense foliage. Across the river, trees and buildings are visible. In the background, rolling hills stretch across the horizon. The sky above is mostly cloudy with a patch of blue in the upper left corner. The entire scene appears slightly aged, with visible spots and discoloration on the paper.
