River 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 wooden bridge crossing over calm water. On the left, a sailboat rests near the shore under a big tree, while on the right, a few people sit on the bridge. The sky above is dark with heavy clouds, and a distant church or house sits on the horizon. The artist used a mix of light and shadow to create depth, focusing on the mood of the scene rather than sharp details. This style was common in Romanticism, which often emphasized nature and emotion. Look up Romanticism next to see more works like this.
