Description: This delicate watercolor sketch depicts a serene view of Notre-Dame Cathedral in the background, with its iconic twin towers rising prominently against a pale sky. The soft, minimal tones give the piece an ethereal quality, allowing the historical architecture of Paris to subtly emerge from the misty atmosphere. A bridge stretches across the river in the foreground, while faint outlines of trees and rooftops gently shape the Parisian skyline. The impressionistic style evokes a sense of quiet reflection, capturing a fleeting moment along the riverbanks of the Seine.
