Morning, An Overcast Day, Rouen is a late 19th-century painting by Danish-French artist Camille Pissarro. Done in oil on canvas, the work depicts the industrial cityscape of Rouen, France. The centerpiece of the painting is Boieldieu Bridge, a steel arch bridge which Pissarro painted from his room in a nearby hotel. The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]

Pissarro had executed other paintings of the Boieldieu Bridge, in differing weather conditions, on a previous visit to Rouen earlier that year (1896).
