About this work

This sketch shows a tall, narrow tower with a simple design—just a few windows and a pointed top. In front of it, a bare tree stands with thick, dark branches, while another tree on the left has a few sparse leaves. Below, a path winds past the tower, and two small figures ride horses along it. The tower looks old and a bit weathered, with rough edges and no fancy details. The artist used soft, watery colors that make the scene feel quiet and a little mysterious.
