A Selection of Twenty of the Most Picturesque Views in Paris: View of Pont au Change, the City Theatre, Pont Neuf, Conciergerie Prison, &c taken from Pont Notre Dame is a 1803 by Girtin, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a Paris river with a stone bridge. On the left side, there’s a tall building with a clock tower. To the right, another big building has a red roof and pointed towers. The water is calm, and a small boat floats near the bridge. The sky is light with a few clouds. The artist drew this from a high spot to show the whole scene. The bridge looks old and sturdy, with arches holding it up. The buildings have lots of windows and look like they’re from a long time ago. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists like this one used emotion in their work.
