The Exchange Bridge, Paris, about 1784

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a bridge over a river in a city. The bridge has five arches and is made of stone. It spans the width of the image, with buildings on both sides. On the right side of the image, there is a tall stone wall. In the foreground, there are people standing by the river, and a boat is visible on the water. The sky is cloudy. The buildings across the bridge are multi-story and have many windows. Smoke is rising from the chimneys. The drawing is signed and dated in the bottom corners.
