Das alte Schloss Gutenfeis bei Caub am Rhein is a 1840 graphite by Karl Julius von Leypold, a Romanticism work, depicting Castle, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a crumbling castle on a cliff above the Rhine River, drawn with soft pencil and a wash of brown ink. Leypold made this on the spot, in a small sketchbook. The quick lines feel like a travel diary—less about perfect details, more about the mood of the place. The castle looks lonely, almost forgotten. If you like quiet, moody landscapes, look up Romanticism.
