Castle with Lift-Bridge is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a castle with a tall tower and smaller buildings around it. In front, there’s a bridge that can be lifted, and a moat with two ducks swimming in the water. Tall trees line the left side, and the whole scene is drawn in black lines on a light background. The artist used a technique where they carved lines into a metal plate, then inked it to make the print. This method is called etching. Check out more about the technique: etching.
