The Lonely Tower by Samuel Palmer: A black and white etching depicting a nighttime scene. In the foreground, a group of sheep are gathered on the right side, with a shepherd sitting among them. To the left, a horse-drawn cart is positioned on a path, accompanied by a figure. The background features a hill with a tower on top, set against a starry night sky with a crescent moon. Trees are scattered throughout the scene, and a fence is visible near the center. The artwork is presented on a beige background with a darker border around the etching. The artist's signature is located in the bottom-right corner.
