1860

This lithograph with tint stone depicts La Vicomté, a 15th or 16th century château located in Saône et Loire, France, as part of Victor Petit's comprehensive portfolio documenting French Renaissance architecture. The work exemplifies Petit's meticulous approach to architectural illustration through the medium of hand colored lithography, capturing both the structural details and picturesque qualities of the historic château.
