Cleveland Museum of Art

The Lovers' Walk (The Second Plate) by Francis Seymour Haden: A sepia-toned etching on paper, depicting a serene landscape with a winding path or stream running through a wooded area. The path or stream curves from the bottom-left corner towards the center, with trees and foliage on either side. A steep hill or cliff is on the left, and trees are on the right. In the background, two figures are visible. The artwork features a mix of light and dark shading, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The image is surrounded by a thick, off-white border with rough edges, and handwritten notes are visible at the bottom and right side.
