"Gezicht op de Pont de la Concorde" is an 18th-century watercolor by Joseph-Alexandre Le Campion depicting the Pont de la Concorde bridge in Paris, France. The scene is framed in a circular format, characteristic of the period's topographic illustrations, capturing the bridge's architectural grandeur against the backdrop of the Seine river and the city's skyline. The meticulous details in this small-scale work showcase Le Campion's talent for capturing the essence of a place, highlighting the bridge's significance in 18th-century Parisian urbanism. The work is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
