A Lock on the Stour is a 1830 ink by David Lucas, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet river scene with a small bridge and lock in the distance. Two people sit on the bank near the water, while trees frame the scene on either side. The sky is dark with swirling clouds, and the water looks calm. The artist used shading to create depth, focusing on the play of light and shadow across the landscape. This style was popular in the early 1800s for its dramatic mood. Look up Romanticism to see how artists used nature and emotion in their work.
