Bullard Rock on the New River is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet river scene with jagged rock formations rising from the water. Two small boats float near the shore—one with two people, the other with a dog. The rocks are dark and layered, while the water reflects the sky softly. Trees line the far side, and a small fire burns on the bank. The title at the bottom says it’s *Bullard Rock on the New River*, near a place called Giles County, Virginia. The artist used a mix of colors to show light and shadow, making the rocks look almost three-dimensional. If you like this style, check out the technique: lithography.
Edward Beyer (1820–1865) was a German landscape painter who was active in the United States and became known for his depiction of the Antebellum South.
