About the Item
Tour d’Oudon, View on the Loire
Watercolour on paper
Dimensions without frame: 31.5cm x 38cm
This delicate 19th-century French watercolour depicts a tranquil view of the Tour d’Oudon, a medieval tower overlooking the River Loire in western France. The tower, rising prominently on the right-hand side, dominates the composition with its pale stone walls and conical roof, a landmark nestled amid gentle greenery.
In the foreground, the broad, calm expanse of the Loire River reflects the soft sky above, rendered in pale washes of blue and silver-grey. Several boats drift or rest near the riverbank — small craft with figures aboard, providing a sense of scale and quiet activity. Along the opposite bank, distant trees and low buildings fade into atmospheric perspective, evoking the hazy luminosity typical of the French countryside.
The artist’s light, transparent brushwork and balanced composition capture both architectural dignity and natural harmony. This view combines topographical accuracy with romantic sensibility — a serene tribute to the Loire’s timeless beauty and the historic tower that watches over it.
