A stereoview depicting the east facade of the Louvre, known as the Colonnade, designed by Claude Perrault in the seventeenth century. The composition is taken from an oblique angle along the Rue du Louvre, emphasizing the receding perspective of the paired Corinthian columns above a rusticated ground floor. An iron fence and low stone wall separate the building from the empty foreground street, with no pedestrians or carriages present in the scene.
