Les Honneurs militaires rendus à la Depouille mortelle de L'Amiral Courbet

Auguste Lepère and Louis Tinayre

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a bird's-eye view of an event in an urban setting. Closest to us, there are figures on rooftops. The main road is lined with horse-drawn carriages and to the right is a large building. Beyond the road, there are people or military formations in open grounds. In the distance is a building with two spires against a cloudy sky. The style of the image includes cross-hatching and line work, creating a textured appearance in monochrome.
