A View across the Park, Chatsworth, Derbyshire is a 1844 graphite by John Burgess, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet park scene with a long, sloping hill covered in grass and trees. A winding path cuts through the middle, leading toward a distant line of trees. The drawing is mostly in shades of gray, with some darker lines for shadows and lighter strokes for light. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the scene, focusing on shapes over details. The paper has a textured look, typical of older drawings. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists like this one used nature to express emotion.
