Chateau Gaillard, on the Seine is a 1880 watercolor by Alfred East, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet riverside scene with a castle ruin perched on a hill. The trees are bright green, the water calm, and the sky pale. A few small figures walk near the riverbank. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture light and color. The castle’s yellow stones stand out against the greenery. Look up Sir Alfred East next to see more of his landscapes.
