Bingham-Melcomb, Dorsetshire is a 1849 ink by Joseph Nash, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet courtyard with a stone house and pointed windows. A woman in a dark dress stands by a doorway, while two people sit on a bench near a flower-filled planter. The walls are warm brown, and climbing plants add green details. The sky is light with soft clouds. The artist used hand coloring to add life to the scene. The flowers and clothing look carefully painted by hand. The house’s style is old-fashioned but neat. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
