English Hand Colored Engraving, Framed

Still, a path along a causeway leads small walkers toward a sheet of calm water

This hand colored engraving is from England, United Kingdom, and is dated 1843. It is ink on paper. The Finden brothers engraved biblical scenes after J.M.W. Turner for the 1836 book Landscape Illustrations of the Bible, and Turner relied on sketches by artists who had visited the Holy Lands. Small in scale, a hand-colored scene of a raised path with a few figures walking along it, an open pale bay, and distant hills. It sits in a wide white mat and a dark frame with leafy, pale metallic relief. It is 22.25 inches wide and 20.75 high.

The walkers seem sure of the way, and the water agrees.
