A view of the Grand Palais in Paris across the River Seine and the Alexandre 3 Bridge. It is only when one sketches this scene that one realises just how many statues there are. This is a freehand sketch from a photograph taken by me some time ago. That is to say, while the camera set the format, only a pencil and pen were used to create the drawing. I must say that I remain in awe of the timeless beauty and lightness of glass roofs such as this one, opened in 1 May 1900.
