DescriptionThe image is a building scape in which the foreground is a body of smooth water beyond which a large pre-Gothic medieval structure rises in the center of the composition. The sky is atmospheric with clouds; a crescent moon appears to the right of the castle tower and a bird appears to fly further to the right.
