Le 14 Juillet. Illumination de la Seine du Pont Neuf au Pont au Change

Auguste Lepère

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a nighttime celebration along a river with a cityscape in the background. The scene includes grand baroque architecture, bustling riverbanks with boats lit up, a domed rooftop with statues, a tree with lanterns, and a bridge arching over the river. The background also features old tall buildings and fireworks lighting up the sky. The image is a detailed engraving with fine lines and cross-hatching for texture and depth, using a monochromatic color palette.
