This drawing shows the gatehouse of Garlinge Castle in Kent. It’s a watercolour made in the early 1800s, likely by Thomas Grieve. The Grieves were a family of scene painters who worked for London theatres. This piece probably started as a theatre background before ending up in a museum. Look for another Grieve drawing of a gatehouse at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
