John Clerk of Eldin's etching, "Borthwick Castle," depicts the imposing medieval castle set against a rolling landscape. The artist's precise, detailed rendering of the stonework and the surrounding greenery showcases his technical skill. The image captures the castle's enduring presence as a testament to Scotland's rich history and the power of its architecture. This print, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the 18th-century fascination with historic structures and the romanticism surrounding them.
