Bolton Abbey is a 1900 ink by Percival Gaskell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a river flowing through it, flanked by trees and bushes on either side. In the distance, a building resembling a church or abbey stands, surrounded by rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The scene is rendered in a range of grays, with darker tones used for the trees and lighter shades for the sky and water. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the drypoint technique, which creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The artist's use of light and shadow adds a sense of atmosphere to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the abbey in the distance.
