Water Tanks Outside of Annex, Paris Exposition Universelle

Charles Thurston Thompson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an elevated perspective overlooking a cobblestone pathway beside a misty river. A bridge is visible on the left, while industrial buildings with metal tanks can be seen on the right. The picture features men in dark coats on the cobblestone path and others near the buildings. The scene has an antiquated and monochromatic appearance, with earthy tones and an interplay of light and shadow.
