About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a fancy chandelier. It’s round, with lots of swirly bits and big circles hanging down. Flowers and leaves wrap around the top like a frame. The bottom shows a city by water, with buildings and a bridge. The artist signed it *La veue du pont de Rouen*—that’s a view of Rouen’s bridge. Next, check out engraving to see how artists carve these detailed lines.
