Chateau Fontainebleau and Gardens is a 1727 by Jacques Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a large building with many windows and a garden in front of it. The garden has paths, trees, and people sitting or walking around. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes, and some people are sitting on the ground. The sky is cloudy. The painting seems to be from a time when people wore fancy clothes and had formal gardens. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the different parts of the garden and the building.
