About the piece
Painted in 1777 by Paul Sandby, this work captures Bothwell Castle from the south, perched majestically on a verdant hillside above the River Clyde. The scene is rendered with the delicate detail characteristic of the topographical landscape tradition, featuring gentle water reflections and small figures that provide a sense of scale and life to the antique ruins.
