"A Tightrope Walker Crossing the Seine Near the Concorde Bridge in Front of the Governmental Box on 15 August 1807" is a historical illustration by French artist Claude Louis Desrais (1746–1816). This artwork captures a momentous event where a tightrope walker performs a daring feat of balance and agility, crossing the River Seine on a rope stretched near the Concorde Bridge in Paris. The event took place on August 15, 1807, a date that coincides with the celebration of Napoleon Bonaparte's birthday, which was an occasion for grand festivities during the First French Empire.

The illustration is significant not only for its depiction of the tightrope walker's act but also for its portrayal of the surrounding environment and the audience, including the governmental box, which would have held members of the elite or government officials. Desrais, known for his detailed and accurate representations of contemporary events and Parisian life, provides a glimpse into the social and cultural atmosphere of early 19th-century France.

The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting the public's fascination with spectacle and entertainment during this period. It also offers insights into the urban landscape of Paris at the time, showcasing the architecture and the layout of the city as it was beginning to undergo significant transformations under Napoleon's rule.

Claude Louis Desrais' work is an example of the detailed genre scenes that were popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and it remains an important piece for scholars studying French art, culture, and history of the Napoleonic era.
