Español: Antigua puerta del Palacio de Justicia en París

Un pequeño aguafuerte muestra una oscura puerta fortificada con tres torres puntiagudas y un tejado empinado, dentro de un medallón circular sobre rayos de luz que irradian. El trazo fino y paralelo modela la piedra y el cielo sobre una hoja clara de amplios márgenes.

Português: Antiga portaria do Palácio da Justiça em Paris

Uma pequena gravura em metal mostra uma escura portaria fortificada com três torres pontiagudas e um telhado íngreme, dentro de um medalhão circular sobre raios de luz que se irradiam. Hachuras finas e paralelas modelam a pedra e o céu sobre uma folha clara de margens amplas.
