Aerial view of the Château du Louvre in Paris, during the reign of Philippe Auguste. The drawing is in landscape format. It is framed in ink. Traces of watercolor and black ink are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
In the foreground are fields and houses. The Château du Louvre is slightly off-center on the right, bordered in front by a roadway with many people and carts. On the left, a boat sails on the river and four boats are moored on the bank. On the other side of the enclosure, several fields surround the château.
