The craftsmanship of the Biltmore Estate left me in absolute awe. Walking through its halls, I couldn’t help but marvel at the intricate details—the hand-carved woodwork, the ornate stone facades, and the delicate ironwork that seemed to whisper stories of the artisans who poured their souls into every piece. It’s not just a building, it’s a masterpiece born from a community of skilled craftspeople, many brought over from Europe, who dedicated their lives to creating something timeless. Sketching it feels like a way to honor their artistry, capturing the spirit of their work and the beauty they left behind.
