About this work

Hearne painted Caister Castle, Norfolk around 1806. It’s a watercolour from the Romantic era. Hearne was a draughtsman who started in 1771. He stopped showing work for 13 years until 1806. That year he exhibited this piece right after a big watercolour show started. Maybe he wanted better light for his art. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
