Gezicht op het Maison Royale de Saint-Louis te Saint-Cyr 18th century

This anonymous 18th-century watercolor depicts the Maison Royale de Saint-Louis in Saint-Cyr, France. The sprawling complex, with its distinctive bell tower, is seen from a distance, nestled amidst trees and rolling hills. The artist captures the tranquil atmosphere of the surrounding countryside, with a group of figures in the foreground adding a human touch to the scene. The work provides a glimpse into the architectural and social landscape of 18th-century France, and is an excellent example of topographical art.
