Isleworth

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a riverside view with buildings and a spire in the distance. The scene is detailed with cross-hatching for shadows and texture. The trees and structures are defined by bold lines. The color palette is minimalistic with earthy tones and dark ink strokes. A section of the paper to the left is mostly untouched. Ripples in the water are depicted with flowing lines. Buildings are densely packed along the horizon under a sky with light clouds.
