Charles Meryon's contemporaries

A work made of transfer lithograph in black on gray china paper.
The image features a riverside scene with a large building in the center and smaller structures in the background. The sky is filled with clouds, and there are boats on the water. The artwork is done in an etching style, with detailed lines showing architectural elements, boats, and water ripples. The color scheme is monochromatic in shades of brown and black.
The Petit Pont, by Charles Meryon, 1850
A work made of conté crayon on gray-blue wove paper.
This image shows a rural landscape with a pond in the foreground where cattle are being herded by a person on horseback. There are low buildings with smoking chimneys in the middle ground. Trees on the horizon separate the land from the sky, which is filled with clouds. The painting is detailed with a consistent brushwork, capturing foliage and buildings. The color palette is primarily sepia, giving a vintage and serene feel to the scene.

The works in this room are listed below.
