This watercolor shows a crumbling castle in soft light, with a man resting on a grassy bank in front. The scene feels quiet, like time paused for a moment. Beranger often sketched Irish ruins in the late 1700s. This piece helps us imagine what Cappoge Castle looked like before it fell apart. Look up Beranger, Gabriel, ca.1729-1817 next to see more of his work.
