Bain-froid chevrier, dit "de l'École" (Chevrier's Cold-Bath Establishment, Sometimes called the "School-Baths") is a 1864 ink by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a bustling street scene, with a large building on the left and a smaller one on the right. The street is filled with people, and there's a sense of activity and movement. In the background, you can see trees and other buildings, adding depth to the scene. One interesting detail is the use of different textures and shading techniques to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The etching is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and a focus on capturing the everyday life of the city.

Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
