This sketch shows a crumbling old castle by a river. The walls are cracked and uneven, with patches of color showing through. Nearby, a few small buildings sit on a hill, and the water looks calm. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes—no tight lines, just soft blends of gray and brown. The castle looks worn, like it’s been there for a long time. Want to see more of this artist’s work?
