Roslyn Chapel

Auguste Edouart French

Not on view

During the three years Edouart spent in Edinburgh, he completed roughly five thousand silhouettes, including works that record important sights much like his portraits that document the likenesses of their subjects. He visited nearby Rosslyn Chapel (which he has spelled "Roslyn") to create this rendering of the fifteenth-century structure’s interior in wash, to which he later added silhouettes of visitors.
