Description

Engraving of the view of Dinas-Bran-Castle in Denbright. A winding path lined with tall trees lies to the left of the composition in the foreground, with two travelers walking down the trail. The trail gives way to a hilly, tree-spotted landscape, with the castle shown atop the largest hill in the center of the background. Mountains continue in the distance underneath a cloudy sky.
