Allo Paris: The Bridges of Paris and Notre-Dame is a 1926 by Robert Delaunay, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a cityscape with a river and bridges. The buildings have tall spires and domes, and one big church stands out in the middle. Two airplanes fly low above the scene, while a train passes on tracks below the bridges. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show light and shadow. The drawing feels loose and fast, like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Robert Delaunay for more of his bold, modern work.
Robert Delaunay was a French artist of the School of Paris movement; who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes.
