Description: An atmospheric watercolour painting by Maurice Mazeilie depicting a silhouetted château nestled against a fading sunset. The spire-like rooftops of the building rise prominently against the soft, gradient sky, creating a striking contrast between the man-made structure and the surrounding nature. The autumnal tones of the trees and the warm reds and browns of the landscape below evoke a tranquil, end-of-day mood, typical of the artist’s impressionistic style. Mazeilie’s loose brushstrokes capture the fleeting light and shifting shadows, giving this scene a dreamlike quality that enhances the charm of the château and its natural surroundings.
