Ceasar's Tower and part of Warwick Castle is a 1775 watercolor by Paul Sandby, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a big stone castle by a river. The castle has a tall round tower and a bridge in the distance. In the foreground, two people stand near the water—one looks like they’re helping the other. Trees line the riverbank, and the sky is light and soft. The artist focused on how light hits the castle’s rough stones, making some parts glow. This was a common trick in watercolors back then.
