View of a Chateau (Chateau de Poillet) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching presents a serene landscape, featuring a chateau nestled among trees and a fence in the foreground. The scene is rendered in dark tones, with the sky visible through the trees. A notable detail is the subtle play of light and shadow, which adds depth to the composition. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and nuance.
