drawing of scenery and props in The Tempest is a 1855 by William Telbin, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image shows two drawings in an open book. The top drawing depicts a scene with people and objects, while the bottom drawing shows a rocky landscape with a cave and trees. The drawings are labeled with text that is too small to read, but they appear to be part of a collection. The book is open to a page with a white background, and the drawings are surrounded by a thin border.
