Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows an expanse of countryside with an old ruin situated prominently to the left side. The ruins, which include a tower and arches, are located just below the center of the image. The horizon appears higher up with a soft hill line behind the structure. The piece features delicate brushstrokes and line work, giving it a sketch-like quality. Muted colors like beige, soft purple, and light brown are used, creating an understated color palette. In the distance, beyond the ruins, the landscape stretches towards low hills covered in a faint haze. Closer to us and to the right, a simple line drawing of two leafless trees stands out against the light background.
