The Dromos, Athens is a 1758 ink by Jacques Philippe LeBas, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet river scene with trees and hills. A few people are scattered around—some stand near the water, others walk along the shore. The sky is bright, with sun rays breaking through clouds. The artist used a simple line style to draw everything. This kind of drawing is called etching. Look up etching to see how it works.
