About the Item

The rustic charm of old France is masterfully evoked by the pen and ink of Libby Bothweay. The primary focus is a weathered stone staircase gracefully curving upward, its worn steps inviting exploration. Flanking either side, the chipped facade of the building tells of years gone by, with shuttered windows lending a nostalgic aura. The wrought iron railing of the staircase is intricately rendered, emphasizing craftsmanship. Below, a cobblestone path adds texture, guiding the eye towards a verdant corner where ivy clings lovingly to the wall. The artist's expert use of monochromatic ink highlights the interplay of light and shadow, drawing attention to architectural details. Each line is deliberate, bringing depth and character to the scene, while the absence of color enhances its timeless quality. This piece is a testament to the enduring beauty of historical architecture and the stories held within its stones. Libby Bothway uses black ink on paper to depict urban landscapes inspired by travels across Europe and the UK. Her appreciation for the beauty inherent in French and Spanish architecture produces charming works  that highlight and add texture to the intricate details found in old windows, doors, and balconies. Her style celebrates imperfections and reveals a genuine love for buildings with character, especially those adorned with exposed bricks.
