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

Charles Meryon

National Gallery of Art

This image shows an architectural scene along a canal or river. A wooden bridge crosses the water, supported by a stone structure on the left. The horizon features elevated buildings, possibly from an older European cityscape. The brushstroke technique is detailed, resembling an etching. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. A round building with balconies and a flagpole is on the right. In the distance, hills covered with trees create a backdrop.
