OIL-ON-BOARD CASTLE EXTERIOR SIGNED “RAFALOW” (1965)

A dramatic scene of a lone watchman climbing stone steps inside a castle. The broad staircase runs up along the inside wall of the grand keep, producing an operatic sense of scale. Shadows stretch deep into the corners, adding a sense of mystery and tension to the atmosphere—and hint at themes of duty and intrigue. Cinematic in style, the painting invites viewers to imagine the story behind the guard’s ascent and to contemplate the castle’s secrets. The thought-provoking piece is presented in a deeply beveled frame that enhances its visual impact. Signed “RAFALOW” by an (as yet) unknown artist.
