Old Chateau (Un vieux chateau) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a landscape with a large, old chateau in the background. The chateau is surrounded by trees and bushes, and there is a field in the foreground. The sky is light, and the overall mood is peaceful. The artist has used a range of techniques to create texture and depth in the painting. The trees and bushes are depicted in detail, with intricate branches and leaves. The field in the foreground is also textured, with visible blades of grass. The painting is a great example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination.
