THE PENCIL ETCHING

It is hard to describe the detail in the picture but it certainly took quite some time from start to finish unless the person was an accomplished artist. The drawing shows the archway extending from the castle area to the other part of the residence. There is what appears to be an ironwork fence above the archway to protect anyone walking the sentry point.

Just before the courtyard and directly in front of the archway is a fountain. It appears to be concrete. One side of the fountain is partially torn down, probably due to the elements of time or possibly awaiting reconstruction. To the left of the fountain is a man that is walking a dog towards the castle who I assume is the baron himself. The area directly to the castle is partially obscured with trees as a camouflage to prevent soldiers from noticing it.
