The Old Louvre from a Painting by Zeeman, 1651 by Charles Meryon: A black and white drawing of a large building complex with a river in front. The complex has multiple sections with varying architectural features; a central section with a mansard roof and tower, flanked by sections with flat roofs and numerous windows. A bridge crosses the river in front, connecting the land on either side. People and boats are on the river and shore. The background shows more buildings and a cloudy sky. The image is framed by a white border, with the artwork itself having a lighter border around it.
