About this work

This sketch shows a wide view of a river with a busy cityscape on the other side. Bridges stretch across the water, and buildings line the banks. People walk along paths near the river, while trees and factories dot the landscape. The drawing is mostly in black and white, with some light shading to show depth. The title says this is a panorama of the Seine River, taken from a high point. The artist included details like forts and a park, showing how the city was built around the water.
