The Guardhouse, Troyes is a 1901 by Gustave Leheutre, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a small guardhouse near the water. Trees line the path, and houses peek through the branches. The river looks calm, with reeds and reflections on the surface. The artist focused on simple lines and shading to show light and shadow. This style makes the scene feel peaceful and a little lonely.
