1795
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dream of Thiralatha [from "America," cancelled plate d] is a 1795 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a woman with long hair, kneeling on the ground. She is dressed in a dark robe and appears to be crying or in distress. Behind her, a large, curved shape dominates the background, with a figure emerging from it. The figure is reaching out towards the woman, but its features are unclear. The scene is set against a blue sky with clouds, and the overall mood is one of sadness and despair. The use of muted colors and the dramatic pose of the woman add to the emotional impact of the painting.
