View of the Basin of Québec City, the Île d'Orléans, Lévy Point and Montmorency Falls
This masterful watercolour by British artist James Peachey offers a panoramic view of Québec City and Île d'Orléans. Lévy Point and Montmorency Falls can also be seen. This piece was painted during Peachey’s second stay in Québec City, where he worked alongside Samuel Holland as assistant topographer. His watercolours were among the first landscape sketches in Canada.
