View of the Palais de l'Industrie [Palace of Industry]. The three-storey stone building features heavy columns on either side of an arched portico entrance, two levels of semicircular windows, and reliefs of busts in profile on the facade. Atop the central portico is a group of sculptures by Élias Robert depicting the female personification of France extending crowns to the fields of commerce and industry. Beneath the sculptures, a bas-relief frieze is visible. In front of the building are piles of stones and bricks.
