Charles Meryon's etching, *La salle des pas-perdus a l'ancien Palais de Justice* (The antechamber of the Palais de Justice, Paris, Reproduction after the original by Jacques Anrouet Du Cerceau), depicts the grand interior of the Parisian palace. Created in 1855, the artwork is a reimagining of a 16th-century design by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, known for his architectural drawings. Meryon, a master of etching, used delicate lines and precise shading to capture the intricate details of the vaulted ceiling and the arcade of columns. The etching showcases the architectural grandeur of the Palais de Justice, a significant building in the history of Paris.
