Old Chelsea (Old Chelsea Church)

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a river with a cityscape in the background. In the skyline, there are buildings and tall trees. The river features boats and figures. A tower is visible on the left side of the image, along with groups of rooftops stretching towards the right. The etching uses fine lines to create texture and movement in the sky and water. The scene is monochromatic, with varying shades of black and brown against a light background.
