Pair Silk Needleworks Showing Ruins of Tintern Abbey and an English Castle

A pair of silk on canvas romantic scenes, one of Tintern Abbey the other of a ruined English castle (most likely Conway Castle in Wales).
Made circa 1860, the design and colors of both silkworks are quiet and restrained, creating a contemplative mood.
Tintern Abbey is a ruined monastery in the Wye Valley of Wales. It is the second-oldest monastery in
Britain. Dissolved in 1563, it fell into ruin and later became a tourist attraction in the Romantic period of the late 18th century. The scenery around the Abbey is charming.
The poem, commonly known as “Tintern Abbey”*, was written by the British Romantic poet William Wordsworth.
