Chateau Richer, Quebec by Stanley Francis Turner is a 16.75. X 12.25 inch watercolour on paper that is protected by museum glass. The piece presents a picturesque view of a historical settlement in Quebec. It shows a street leading up to a prominent church, characterized by its steep roof and spire. The palette is soft which gives the scene a tranquil and timeless quality. The use of light suggests that it may be early morning, as a warm glow is cast on the surrounding buildings and streets. The sky is painted in long, gentlre strokes, hinting at a clear day ahead. There is a sense of quiet activity in the piece;  the presence of buildings and the way the town is nestled among the trees suggest a living, breathing community.

Turner's technique, with visible brushstrokes and a somewhat impressionistic style, lends a vibrancy to the scene. The painting is not just a literal depiction of Chateau Richer but an evocation of the beauty and charm of small-town Quebec.

Etchings were made from this painting, which is from the artist’s collection. It was also on display at Cowley Abbott in Toronto before coming to Rookleys Canadian Art.
