This watercolor shows two men standing in a walled yard. Behind them are the crumbling ruins of Rathgar Castle. Tumbled stones and ivy mark where a tower once stood. Gabriel Beranger painted this around 1779. He often traveled Ireland sketching old buildings before they disappeared. This sheet is one of hundreds he made. Look up watercolor glazing to see why his colors stay bright after 200 years.
