Picturesque and Romantic Journeys in Old France: Ruins of the Palace of the White Queen

Alexandre-Evariste Fragonard

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a dilapidated stone building with a large ornate Gothic archway standing at the edge of a serene body of water. The archway is adorned with intricate carvings and is part of a larger stone structure that appears to be in ruin, with some sections crumbling and overgrown with foliage. A woman sits on a rocky outcrop to the left, looking down at a book or object in her lap. She wears a long dress and has long hair. Trees and bushes are on the left side and in front of the arch. The background shows a hazy sky and distant hills. Text at the bottom of the image reads "Ruines du Palais de la Reine Blanche".
