Turn-stone is a 1836 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, depicting Ruff, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a natural scene with rocks and water. It's an old print, made with a technique that involves etching a design onto a metal plate. The artist used this method to create detailed, textured images, which was pretty common back then, but still required a lot of skill to get right. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
