Charles Fichot's "Zicht op het Hôtel du Bourgtheroulde in Rouen" is a detailed lithograph depicting the Hôtel du Bourgtheroulde, a 16th-century mansion in Rouen, France. The artwork, created between 1840 and 1851, captures the intricate architectural details of the building, including its ornate facade and towering spire. The lithograph's delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and realism, while the inclusion of figures in the foreground provides a human scale to the scene. Now in the Rijksmuseum, Fichot's work is a valuable record of the Hôtel du Bourgtheroulde's appearance during the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the past of this iconic building.
