Caernarvon Castle is a 1760 watercolor by William Pars, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a castle by the water, with high stone walls and towers. In the foreground, four people sit or stand on a grassy shore—one points toward the castle while another boat floats nearby. A lone tree leans over the scene, and the sky is pale and hazy. The artist used soft, light colors to show distance, making the castle look far off and dreamy. The water is calm, and the people seem small, like they’re part of a quiet moment.
