Castor 1927

"Castor" is an etching by F. L. Griggs, a British artist known for his architectural scenes. Created in 1927, the artwork depicts a ruined building in a contemplative and atmospheric style, with a solitary figure standing amidst the rubble. Griggs's mastery of line and detail captures the texture of the stones and the sense of decay, offering a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the impermanence of structures. The print is a powerful example of Griggs's ability to imbue architectural subjects with a sense of human drama and emotional resonance.
