Castle on Height near Geneva
A watercolor landscape shows a ruined castle crowning a steep, rocky height above a deep valley. A lone figure in white stands on a path at lower left, while a stream winds through the shadowed gorge below. Soft washes, scraped highlights and graphite lines create a misty, atmospheric scene.
