Fulham is a 1859 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with trees in the foreground, their branches drawn in loose, wavy lines. Behind them, a row of small houses sits along the water’s edge, with a tall tower rising in the distance. A boat floats calmly on the river, and the whole scene is done in black ink on a light background. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit in the grooves of the plate, creating both fine lines and darker patches. This helps show light and shadow without too much detail. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one make prints.
