A North-East View from Sandham Cottage, Isle of Wight is a 1840 ink by Harriet Wilkes, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman standing near a window, gazing out at a hillside covered in neatly trimmed hedges. Below her, a dog sits on the grass, looking up. The scene includes a winding path, a small tower, and a rocky cliff by the sea. The title at the bottom tells us this is the view from Sandham Cottage on the Isle of Wight. The artist used a careful, detailed style to show both the woman and the landscape. Want to know more? Look up etching to see how artists like Harriet Wilkes made prints like this.
