Richmond Castle, Yorkshire is a 1876 watercolor by George Haydock Dodgson, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a green, leafy landscape with a tall, crumbling stone tower in the middle. The sky is light with soft clouds, and the ground has patches of grass, dirt, and bushes. Trees frame the sides, and a small body of water sits in the lower right corner. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a fresh, natural feel. The colors are mostly earthy greens and browns, with some blue in the sky. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
George Haydock Dodgson was an English watercolour artist and woodcut engraver. He contributed illustrations to the Illustrated London News.
