Description
An outstanding original watercolour by the celebrated British landscape painter David Bates, depicting the magnificent ruins of Kenilworth Castle set within the peaceful Warwickshire countryside.
The composition beautifully combines historic architecture with a tranquil rural landscape, featuring grazing sheep, a winding stream, mature trees, and figures accompanied by a horse crossing a rustic bridge. The dramatic cloud-filled sky and delicate handling of light create a wonderful sense of depth and atmosphere.
David Bates was renowned for capturing Britain’s historic landmarks with exceptional sensitivity, and this signed example is a fine representation of his mature work.
Presented in an attractive glazed frame with decorative mount, ready to display.
