The Castle of Chillon

A lakeside castle with red-roofed towers and whitewashed walls rises from a rocky, tree-covered shore, with tall dark cypress-like trees framing the right side. Behind it stretches a calm grey-blue lake and a range of mountains with snow-capped peaks under a pale, hazy sky. The palette is muted—soft greys, browns, and greens with touches of red on the rooftops—giving the scene a quiet, subdued mood; Japanese characters and the artist's pencil signature appear in the margins.
