Description:
This mid-century oil on board offers a striking impressionist view of Caerphilly Castle, renowned for its leaning tower and grand fortifications. Painted in 1969, the work captures the rugged texture of stone walls and turbulent skies with expressive brushstrokes, echoing the romanticism of Welsh heritage painting. While modest in size, the piece has strong decorative appeal for collectors of regional art, castle depictions, or 20th-century impressionist works.
