This print shows the Theatre of Water at Versailles in the 18th century. It’s a delicate engraving by John Francis Rigaud, a British artist. The piece captures a moment of royal French garden design. The Theatre of Water was a real spot in Versailles used for plays and musical shows. It sits beside the Grand Canal, linking water, sculpture, and performance. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the whole print.
