The East Front of the Library of Trinity College is a 1800 ink by Thomas Malton, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand stone building with tall windows and a flat roof, sitting beside a calm river. A few people stroll along the path in front of it, some walking alone, others in pairs. Tall trees line the background, and a small bridge arches over the water in the distance. The sky is bright with scattered clouds, and the whole scene looks peaceful and orderly. The artist used soft colors and fine lines to capture the details of the building and landscape. This style was common in prints meant to record important places. Next, look up aquatint to see how artists created these delicate watercolors on paper.
