This 1818 engraving by François Louis Couché depicts the Pont du Jardin du Roi, a bridge in Paris, France. The detailed image captures the bridge's arches, the river Seine, and the bustling activity on its banks. The artist’s precise rendering of the scene is characteristic of the neoclassical style, which was popular in Europe during this era. The print is part of a series documenting Parisian architecture, offering a glimpse into the city's urban landscape in the early 19th century. The engraving is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
