Castle with Two Towers

About this work

This sketch shows a big stone house with two tall towers and a steep roof. The building has lots of windows with dark frames, and a small arched doorway at the front. Next to it is a simple wooden shed with a slanted roof, and two tiny figures stand near the entrance. The ground looks muddy, with tracks leading away from the house. The artist used a technique called etching to create the fine lines and shading. This method lets them carve into metal plates to make detailed prints.
