Cowdray Castle, With Geese is an etching by the renowned British artist Sir Francis Seymour Haden, who was a prominent figure in the 19th-century etching revival. Haden, born in 1818 and passing in 1910, was not only a skilled artist but also a practicing surgeon. His dual careers in art and medicine were marked by a meticulous attention to detail and a profound appreciation for the natural world, both of which are evident in his works.

The etching depicts the ruins of Cowdray Castle, a historic Tudor mansion located in West Sussex, England. The castle, originally built in the 16th century, was a grand example of Tudor architecture before it was devastated by fire in 1793. Haden's portrayal of the castle captures the melancholic beauty of the ruins, set against a serene landscape that includes a flock of geese, adding a pastoral element to the scene.

Haden's technique in Cowdray Castle, With Geese showcases his mastery of etching, a printmaking process that involves using acid to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio. His use of light and shadow, along with the intricate detailing of the castle's stonework and the surrounding foliage, demonstrates his ability to convey both the grandeur and the decay of the historic structure. The inclusion of geese in the foreground adds a dynamic contrast to the static ruins, imbuing the scene with a sense of life and movement.

This work is a testament to Haden's skill in capturing the essence of the English countryside and its historical landmarks. It reflects his broader artistic philosophy, which emphasized the importance of direct observation and the beauty of natural and architectural forms. Cowdray Castle, With Geese remains a significant piece within Haden's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the etching revival and his influence on subsequent generations of printmakers.
