Death of Isaac, from Wells Cathedral is a 1829 ink by Maria Denman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man lying down with his head resting on a woman’s lap. The woman holds his hand gently, and both look calm. The drawing is simple, with soft shading and no bright colors—just lines and light shading to show shapes. The title says it’s about the "Death of Isaac," which is a story from the Bible. The artist signed it "M. Denman," which is Maria Denman, a woman who made this in 1829. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this.
