About this work

This print shows a tall, narrow doorway with thick wooden panels. The door is carved into geometric shapes and swirling patterns. Light streams through a small window above, casting shadows on the stone steps inside. The artist focused on textures—rough wood, smooth stone, and the worn edges of the door. This was made in 1853 as part of a series about Paris. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
