The Basin of the Tuileries is a 1906 by Eugène Béjot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet pond in a city park. People walk along the path beside the water, some sitting on benches under bare trees. Buildings line the far side, and a small sailboat glides on the calm surface, its reflection clear in the ripples. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow on the water’s surface, making it look almost three-dimensional. The scene feels peaceful, like a snapshot of everyday life in a park.

Eugène Béjot (1867–1931) was a French artist, born in Paris.
