The Towing Path

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a serene riverside scene with a high horizon, distant landscape, clear sky, trees, bushes, a woman in a long garment holding up her skirt, and a small dog. The etching is composed of fine lines, creating texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic, with black lines on beige paper.
