Burner's White Sulphur Spring, Shenandoah County is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills, a few trees, and a cluster of white buildings in the center. A winding road cuts through the landscape, with a lone rider on horseback near the bottom right. The sky is pale with soft clouds, and the whole scene has a muted, earthy color palette. The title at the bottom reads *Burner’s White Sulphur Spring, Shenandoah County*, hinting this might be a place known for its natural springs. The artist used a smooth, almost sketch-like style to capture the light and shapes. Want to know more? Check out how this was made using lithography.
