Stirling from Kinnell is a 1776 ink by of Eldin, John Clerk, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet landscape with a river cutting through the scene. On the left, trees frame the view, while a small building sits near the water’s edge. In the distance, a town clings to the shore, and hills rise behind it, all drawn in soft, sketchy lines. The title tells us this is a view of Stirling, but from a spot called Kinnell. The artist used a technique that lets ink fill in the scratched lines, creating a grainy, textured look. Next, check out how this print was made using etching.
