A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: View from Palace Terrace, at St. Germain en Laye, the Aquaduct of Marli seen in the Distance

Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a landscape scene with rolling hills and a river. A large building sits atop a hill on the right side. The building appears to be a castle or palace with red roofs and stone walls. In the distance, there is a long structure that appears to be an aqueduct. A winding road or path leads to the building on the hill. There are several people and animals in the foreground, including a woman with a dog on a leash and another person in a yellow coat. There are several buildings along the riverbank. The sky is cloudy and gray. The image is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the scene. The image is framed by a beige border with writing at the bottom.
