A Lock on the Stour 1830

"A Lock on the Stour" is an 1830 etching by the English artist David Lucas (1802-1881). The print depicts a picturesque landscape with a lock on the River Stour, a small cottage, and a bridge in the distance. The work is characterized by its detailed rendering of the natural world, particularly the lush foliage and the dramatic sky, which is filled with large, billowing clouds. The etching is a fine example of Lucas's skill in depicting rural English scenes. The print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
