About this work

This sketch shows a red-brick castle with two tall towers, one square and one pointed, rising over a tree line. The castle sits behind dense green bushes and a narrow body of water in the foreground. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, with some areas left sketchy, especially the sky and distant buildings. The artist focused on capturing the castle’s bold colors—red bricks, dark roofs, and muted greens—rather than fine details. The painting feels more like a quick study than a polished work.
