Etchings of Paris: The Gargoyle

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white oval-shaped illustration of a gargoyle on a stone ledge looking over a cityscape. The gargoyle has wings, a grotesque face with its hand to its face. It appears to be crying or covering its face. The cityscape includes many buildings and a tall tower in the background. Birds are flying in the sky. The illustration is on aged paper with darker shading in areas. There is writing at the bottom.
