About the piece

Painted around 1850 by Henry Pether, this evocative oil on canvas depicts Upnor Castle in Kent under a full moon. Known for his atmospheric nocturnal scenes, Pether masterfully balances the cool, silvery light of the moon reflecting on the water with the warm, inviting glow emanating from a nearby inn and a single window in the castle tower.
