拍品專文

Although best known as an architect, Adam also made a series of drawings of castles, ruins, and capriccios influenced by Paul and Thomas Sandby, of which the present drawing seems to be one. He was fascinated by the idea of the Picturesque, and explored how it could be expressed through architecture. In drawings such as this one he explored the relationship between buildings and their settings, often not as direct design projects but as inspiration. Related drawings are at the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh.
We are grateful to Timothy Wilcox for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
