Cape Diamant and Anse-au-Foulon in Québec City, seen from Piseau Point
This work shows Anse-au-Foulon and Cape Diamant from Piseau Point. It was named after Pierre de Puiseaux, a French settler who arrived in 1637. The watercolour depicts the site around 1838, shortly before the Saint-Michel-de-Sillery Church was built between 1852 and 1854. This church still stands today.
