1864
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Chevrier's Cold Bath Establishment, Paris is a 1864 by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy Paris street scene with a cold bathhouse in the center. People walk along the sidewalk, while others sit or stand near the water. A flag waves on a pole, and buildings with tall windows line the street. The drawing is all in black lines, with no color. The bathhouse sign reads "Bain-Froid Chevrier," which means cold baths. The artist focused on everyday city life, not fancy scenes. Check out Charles Meryon (French, 1821–1868) to see more of his detailed street drawings.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
