Hertford Castle is a 1940 watercolor by Hawkins, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a castle perched on a hill, surrounded by trees in full bloom. The castle has a tall tower and a wall around it. In the foreground, there’s a winding path, a bench, and a mix of green grass, yellow flowers, and bare branches. The colors are soft and bright, with lots of light hitting the scene. The artist used loose brushstrokes to capture the natural look of the landscape. The trees and flowers feel alive, almost like you could step into the scene.
