"Conway" is a watercolor by David Cox, a renowned British landscape artist. Created in the early 19th century, the painting depicts a distant view of Conway Castle in Wales. Cox's use of muted browns and washes create a sense of atmospheric depth, evoking the misty, ethereal landscape. The foreground features a small group of figures on horseback, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the vast scenery.
