Eagle Tower, Carnarvon is a 1850 watercolor by Charles Pyne, depicting Tower, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a tall stone tower with a flag waving from its top. Below, a busy harbor has small boats packed with people, some standing, others sitting. Buildings with thatched roofs line the shore, and a larger ship sits in the background. The tower looks old and sturdy, with narrow windows and a battlement at the top. The artist used soft colors and light strokes to show the scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
