Park with Terrace and a Balustrade with Statues is a 1773 ink by Louis Gabriel Moreau the Elder, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a serene park scene with a long, low wall and a balustrade lined with statues. The wall curves around the left side of the image, while trees and bushes fill the right side. In the foreground, a small stream runs through the park. The artist has used a range of lines and textures to create depth and atmosphere in the scene. The statues on the balustrade add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the park.
