1813
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Apuleia in Search of Apuleius is a 1813 ink by Joseph Mallord William Turner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet park scene with trees and a bridge. People are walking or sitting near a small temple-like building. The lines are soft, and the whole image looks like it was drawn by hand. The artist used a method called etching to make this print. That means they scratched into a metal plate to create the lines.
