Laroche is a 1880 watercolor by David Young RA RSA RWS RSW Cameron, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a cityscape, with buildings lining a street that curves out of view. The scene is rendered in muted colours, with the sky above a pale grey. In the foreground, a few figures are visible, adding a sense of life to the otherwise quiet scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to its visual interest. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
