Paris in 1867, View from the Trocadero

About this work

This sketch shows a wide view of a city by a river, with a long bridge crossing the water. People walk along the riverbank, and buildings line the shore, including a factory with a tall smokestack. In the distance, a tall column stands near domed buildings, and the skyline fades into a light, hazy sky. The artist used fine lines to show details like the smoke, boats, and distant architecture. This style was common in 19th-century city views. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
