Kensington Gardens, No. 1 is a 1859 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet park scene framed by bare trees with twisted branches. In the middle distance, a grand building with columns sits behind neatly trimmed hedges. A small pond or canal runs along the bottom, reflecting the dark lines of the trees. The artist used sharp, scratchy lines to capture the texture of the bark and water. This is a type of printmaking called etching with drypoint. Next, look up etching to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
