About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet countryside scene. A lone figure walks along a rocky path beside a river, surrounded by trees and rolling hills. In the distance, a castle sits on a hill, half-hidden by the landscape. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the trees and water look almost real. The title at the bottom, *Chateau de Bothwell*, hints this is a real place turned into art. Want to know more? Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
