Harlech. is a 24 by Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a castle perched on a rocky hillside, with winding paths and rough terrain leading up to it. The lines are loose and quick, giving a sense of movement. Trees and small buildings dot the landscape below, drawn in light strokes. The artist signed it "Haden" and dated it August 24, 1872. The drawing feels sketchy and unfinished, almost like a quick study rather than a polished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
This pencil drawing on paper is the third in a series of sketches made on the same day, depicting Harlech Castle from various perspectives. It served as the preparatory work for an etching in mezzotint.
