Harlech Castle

About this work

This painting shows a rocky cliff with a big castle on top. Below, a few small buildings sit near the water, where two boats float. The waves look choppy, and the sky is pale and faded. The artist used soft, grayish tones to show light and shadow. The castle looks old and strong, perched high above everything else.
