Vue du Château royal de Chambord, du côte de la Porte royale

Jacques Rigaud

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a large castle with a sprawling complex of buildings. The castle is in the center of the image and has a symmetrical design with a central section and two wings on either side. The central section has a large dome and multiple towers and turrets. The buildings are multi-story and have many windows. In front of the castle, there is a large courtyard with a road leading to a gate. People and horse-drawn carriages are on the road and in the courtyard. There are trees and hills in the background. The sky is cloudy. The image is in black and white and appears to be an old drawing or engraving. The title at the bottom of the image is in French. The overall scene depicts a royal or aristocratic setting.
