Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a large castle-like building with towers and a courtyard. The building has a tall tower on the left side and two shorter towers on the right side. The towers have conical roofs. There are several people in the courtyard, some standing and some gathered around a table. There is a covered walkway with arches along the left side of the courtyard. A streetlamp is visible on the right side. The sky is cloudy. The image is framed by a thin black line, and there is a beige border around it. Text at the bottom of the image reads "LE GRAND CHATELET A PARIS".
