A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: The Water Mill above the Bridge at Charenton

Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape scene with a river, a bridge, and a water mill. The water mill is on the left side, situated on a raised platform over the river, with a reddish-brown roof and white walls. To the right of the water mill is a bridge, which connects the two riverbanks. On the right bank of the river, there are several buildings with reddish-brown roofs. A small wooden boat is on the left side of the river. The foreground features a grassy area with scattered rocks and patches of dirt. The background shows trees and rolling hills under a cloudy sky. The image has a sepia tone and appears to be an old print or painting. The scene is captioned in both English and French.
