Ragland

attributed to James Bulwer

National Gallery of Art

This pencil drawing depicts an old stone building partially covered by vines and surrounded by trees. The perspective is from a slightly elevated angle, with a pathway leading into the space. An arched doorway is visible in the center. The structure shows intricate brickwork, arched windows, and a cylindrical tower on the left side. Trees and foliage are rendered with light pencil strokes. The graphite color palette provides a detailed representation with shading to create depth. The drawing includes a note saying "England June 25, 1829."
