About the piece

Created in 1771 by Henri-Joseph van Blarenberghe, this exquisite gouache on vellum depicts the Château of the Duke of Aiguillon at Véretz. The composition masterfully balances the architectural grandeur of the estate with the lively daily activity of the river and road, all set beneath a vast, atmospheric sky that reflects the idyllic beauty of the Touraine region.
