Description:
Mounted and unframed. Stream courses down channel through the town of Chartres. Water flows under a double-arched white bridge
past grassy banks, gushing through two sluices into a walled channel where a woman washes clothes directly from an opening
in a blue-roofed building on the left. Across the water on the right is a walled enclosure of grassy land. In the background
red and blue-roofed buildings are visible among fall foliage. Peeking out at the top, a blue-roof with three small spires
and two large spires reaches toward the blue sky.
