Bain-froid chevrier, dit "de l'École" (Chevrier's Cold-Bath Establishment, Sometimes called the "School-Baths")

Charles Meryon

National Gallery of Art

The horizon line is positioned slightly above the middle of the image. Stone buildings line a waterway, leading to a section with small structures, with a sign reading "BAIN-FROID CHEVRIER." Intricate architectural details are visible on the buildings to the right, including columns and a flag. On the left, there is a massive stone facade with linear hatch marks. The sky is filled with soft clouds. The color palette is monochrome, predominantly brown. Neat rows of trees and more buildings are seen in the distance.
