About this work
This sepia aquatint shows a wide panoramic view of Paris seen across the Seine, with a broad river curving through the foreground and a dense city skyline beyond. A large domed building and several church towers rise above the rooftops under a dramatic sky of layered clouds. The work is drawn and etched by Thomas Girtin and aquatinted by W. Pickett.
