View of a City at Night is a 1831 by Camille Roqueplan, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a city at night with buildings and streets. The painting shows a quiet moment, with no people around. It's interesting because it was made in 1831, but the subjects say it's about 20th century France, which is a bit confusing.

Camille Joseph Etienne Roqueplan (18 February 1802/03 – 29 September 1855) was a French Romantic painter of landscapes, genre and historical scenes.
