Fan, The Seine seen from the Pont Royal (Éventail, La Seine vue du Pont Royal)

Eugène Bejot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black and white drawing on a semicircular piece of paper cut into an arch shape with a rounded rectangular cutout at the bottom. The drawing depicts a river scene with a bridge in the background and several boats on the water. The river occupies most of the image, with the left side in shadow and the right side lighter. A tree-lined riverbank is on the left, and a cityscape is on the right. The bridge has multiple arches and spans the width of the river. Several boats are scattered across the river, with one larger boat on the right side of the image. The sky above is light with some clouds. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner and has some illegible writing in the bottom-left corner.
