A horizontally oriented sepia engraving depicts the sprawling Château of Vincennes. A central walled complex features a massive square tower on the left and a gothic chapel with a prominent spire. Formal, geometric gardens extend to the far left. In the foreground, numerous small figures and horses move toward an entrance gate. French text identifies the scene at the bottom. Small, rounded trees dot a vast plain stretching toward distant hills under a cloudy sky.
