About the piece
This stunning landscape by Émile Roumens depicts the legendary medieval citadel of Carcassonne under a bright, cloud-dappled sky. In the foreground, local figures wash laundry by the riverbank, providing a sense of scale and human life to the imposing stone ramparts and towers that dominate the horizon.
