Tlos is a 1844 watercolor by William James Müller, a british_romanticism work, depicting ruins, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
William James Müller painted a quiet Turkish town. Watercolor shows white buildings stacked on hills. Shadows stretch long in the late afternoon light. His trip to Turkey in 1843–44 let him sketch these scenes. He raced to capture details before the sun changed. Most artists stayed in studios. He walked among the ruins. This scene looks like a stage set. Find more of his fast sketches at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
