Collée sur un fond en papier gris, avec le titre en bas. Le papier gris présente quelques petites entailles et éraflures sur les bords. Le tirage est en excellent état. La photographie mesure 25 cm x 36,5 cm. La feuille mesure 30 cm x 41,5 cm. Le château de Chenonceau, souvent appelé le « château des dames », est un magnifique chef-d'uvre de la Renaissance du XVIe siècle situé dans la vallée de la Loire, en France, qui enjambe de manière unique le Cher sur une structure en forme de pont. Construit principalement entre 1514 et 1522 par Thomas Bohier et son épouse Catherine Briçonnet, il a remplacé une ancienne forteresse médiévale. Il est appelé le château des dames car ce sont des femmes qui ont façonné son héritage, notamment Diane de Poitiers, qui a ajouté le pont enjambant la rivière (1556-1559) et créé de vastes jardins, et Catherine de Médicis, qui a construit la grande galerie (1570-1576).
