Basle is a 1807 ink by Charles Turner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cityscape with a river running through it. On the right side, there are several buildings, including a tall church with a spire. On the left side, there is a bridge with people and a horse-drawn carriage on it. In the foreground, there are several boats on the river. The painting has a warm, sepia-toned color scheme, with the sky above the city depicted in shades of brown and gray. The overall mood of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness.
