River with Castle Ruin and Boat II c. 1855

Elizabeth Murray's "River with Castle Ruin and Boat II" is a picturesque depiction of a river winding through a lush landscape, its course punctuated by a ruined castle on a wooded hillside. The delicate graphite strokes capture the tranquil atmosphere, with the lone boat in the river adding a sense of solitude to the composition. This drawing, which dates to 1855, is a testament to Murray's talent for capturing the beauty of nature and its evocative power, showcasing the artist's signature style and skill in rendering atmospheric landscapes.
