Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, Paris

Édouard Baldus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile in Paris, a large stone monument with a prominent archway, is centered in the image. The monument has a rectangular shape with a flat top and features intricate carvings on its sides. The archway is large and rounded, positioned in the center of the monument. Two relief sculptures are visible on either side of the archway, depicting various figures. The monument sits on a wide street with a pile of stones or rocks in the foreground. Trees and lampposts line the street, and buildings are visible on the right side of the image. The sky behind the monument is light-colored and featureless. The image is rendered in sepia tones. A thick off-white border surrounds the image.
