View of Tower near Blois 1725 - 1760

"View of Tower near Blois" is an etching by Quentin Pierre Chedel, a French artist known for his landscape drawings. Created between 1725 and 1760, the artwork depicts a quaint, rustic scene with a tower standing near a river. The tower, overgrown with vegetation, is a focal point, while the surrounding landscape is rendered in meticulous detail. The composition is characterized by the use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The etching is a fine example of Chedel's skill in capturing the beauty of nature, and it is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
