Rispah

Joseph Mallord William Turner and Robert Dunkarton

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a night scene under a crescent moon. The horizon is lined with trees that stretch into the distance. The landscape is detailed with a monochrome sepia tone. A figure sits on the ground holding a lit torch, casting a warm glow. Undulating hills and distant trees decorate the background.
