Vue de Trianon dans le Parc de Versailles du Cote de l'Avenue is a 1746 ink by Jean-Baptiste Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand building surrounded by trees and a busy courtyard. People walk, talk, and ride in carriages near fountains and statues. The sky is bright with fluffy clouds, and the whole scene looks orderly and grand. The text at the bottom calls it "Vue de Trianon," which means it’s a view of a palace. The artist used lines and shading to make the scene look detailed and three-dimensional. Check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made sharp, precise prints.
