This detailed view of an ancient Roman bridge in Charenton, France, showcases Silvestre's mastery of landscape and architectural illustration. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the historical structures and urban fabric of 17th-century France, with boats traversing the river and the bridge standing as a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman engineering.
