James Castle

(Farm Scene with Road)
c. 1910–1977

A charcoal sketch depicting a rural scene with a barn and outbuildings surrounded by a wooden fence. Tall trees line the background, and a dirt road stretches into the foreground, suggesting a quiet, pastoral setting. The artwork is rendered on aged paper with visible creases and tape on the edges, indicating it may be an older piece.
