Zicht op een kanaal in Rouen 1832 - 1840

This lithograph, "Zicht op een kanaal in Rouen," by Eugène Lepoittevin, depicts a narrow canal in the French city of Rouen. Lepoittevin, a painter known for his landscapes and cityscapes, captures the quiet beauty of the waterway as it winds its way through the historic buildings. The scene evokes the charm and tranquility of the old town, despite the hint of industrialization with the presence of a smokestack in the distance.
