Hôtel Cheruseau, Rue Louis en L'Ile is a 1906 by Eugène Atget, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This close-up shows a wrought-iron gate with swirling, leaf-like designs. The metal curves in thick, overlapping shapes, and a small cherub peeks out from the bottom right corner. Light fades the edges, making some parts look darker. The gate looks old, with a slightly faded, brownish patina. It’s part of a building’s entrance, but only the gate itself is visible here. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this photo in person.
