Sepia-toned drawing of a large building across a body of water. The building has a symmetrical facade with a central section that has a dome and a tower on either side. There are several boats on the water and a bridge connecting the shore to the building. In the foreground, there is a grassy area with a few people and boats. The sky is light-colored with some darker spots. The drawing is titled "A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris" and is by Thomas Girtin. The image shows a wide, horizontal scene with a river or canal running through it, with a cityscape on the opposite bank.
