Washington Arch is a 1909 ink by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a big stone archway with fancy carvings on top. In front of it is a pond full of lily pads and water plants. People walk along the path, and a horse-drawn carriage rolls through the arch in the distance. The arch has a Latin phrase carved into its top, but it’s hard to read. The artist used fine lines to show details like leaves on the trees and ripples in the water. Look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and needles.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
