Colinet Departs in Sorrow

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image features a small black and white illustration on a light brown page. The scene shows two figures interacting, with one raising their arms. A tree with a twisty trunk is to the right, and sheep are gathered in the background. The landscape slopes gently upward, possibly indicating a horizon line. The style uses linear brushstrokes and crosshatching for texture and shadow, creating depth. The color palette is monochrome with black ink on light paper.
