Fauquier White Sulphur Springs is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet countryside scene with a large white building at the top of a hill. Below it, smaller houses and trees spread across rolling green fields. In the foreground, a dirt path leads past a pond where a few people and horses are gathered. The whole scene looks calm, with soft colors and gentle shadows. The title at the bottom says this is *Fauquier White Sulphur Springs*, a place known for its mineral springs. Tiny details like the people walking and the horses add life to the peaceful landscape.
