Canto VI, Verse 294 is a 1803 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows four figures in a dimly lit scene. A woman in a long dress stands close to a dark-robed man holding a book. Two winged figures hover behind them, looking down. The background is shadowy with faint shapes. The tiny text at the bottom names the artist and the publisher. This print was made by carving lines into metal to create the image. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
