Sainte-Foy Church, near Québec City
This building in a charming rural area was the first stone church in Saint-Foy. Its origins were learned when a plaque was discovered embedded in the masonry stating that Élisabeth Bégon had laid the “first stone of this chapel” in 1719. This piece by James Pattison Cockburn depicts the church in 1829, when it was over 100 years old.
