‘Castle by the Loch’
English School, early 20th Century
 
 
A serene landscape depicting the ruins of a lakeside castle bathed in the soft golden light of early evening. The still water reflects the distant hills and fading sky, while reeds and a small boat in the foreground lend depth and quiet rhythm to the composition. The artist’s delicate handling of colour and atmosphere captures a moment of tranquillity in the British landscape tradition.
