Lady Maria Hooker When Miss Turner at Age Seventeen is a 1814 ink by Mary Dawson Turner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a simple black-and-white portrait of a young woman. Her hair is styled in soft curls, and she wears a loose dress with thin straps. The lines are light, almost sketchy, with some shading on her face and shoulders. The artist used a technique that lets ink spread in watery patches, giving it a soft, slightly fuzzy look. This was done in 1814. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how artists create these kinds of prints.
