# L’Hôtel de Ville

By [Henri Clément-Serveau](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/henri-clement-serveau.md>), 1937.

Paris's Hôtel de Ville and the activity along the Seine are distilled into crisp architectural lines and finely worked shadows. The compact plate combines the precision of etching with the softer tonal accents of drypoint.
