Stokesay Castle

About this work

This painting shows an old stone castle with wooden beams sticking out. The roof is steep and shingled, with a small tower on the right side. A smaller wooden building sits to the left, and the whole scene is surrounded by trees and bushes. The artist used soft, watery colors to show light and shadow. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a sketchy, quick feel. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
