This watercolor shows a sturdy grey castle with a tower. Cattle graze in the yard below. Beranger painted it from a distance, so the castle looks small but solid. The scene’s quiet charm is in the details. The cattle look real. The castle’s walls have small windows. Beranger used soft colors to show an ordinary day. He often painted Irish landscapes like this.
