A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: View of the Louvre & Bridge of the Thuilleries taken from Pont Neuf

Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a river scene with a cityscape. A large body of water, likely a river, dominates the center. A boat is in the foreground, and several other boats are scattered across the water. On the right bank of the river, a long, low wall runs along the water's edge, with a large building behind it. The building has many windows and a red roof. Several smaller buildings are to its right. A bridge spans the river in the background, with another cityscape on the left bank. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The image is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown, gray, and green. The overall atmosphere suggests a daytime scene with overcast weather. The image is presented on a beige background with writing at the bottom.
