View of the Chateau de Seaux from Diana's Promenade is a 1727 by Jacques Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a big, square house with a flat roof and tall windows, surrounded by trees and a wide path. In front, people in old-fashioned clothes walk, chat, and sit on a grassy area near a pond. Some stand near a fence, while others stroll along the path leading to the house. The title says this is the Chateau de Seaux, seen from a spot called Diana’s Promenade. The trees frame the scene neatly, and the people look like they’re enjoying a peaceful day.
