The Woman and Tambourine (Liber Studiorum, part I, plate 3) 1807

"The Woman and Tambourine," a mezzotint print from J.M.W. Turner's "Liber Studiorum" series, depicts a picturesque Italianate landscape. Created in 1807, the print showcases Turner's signature Romantic style, with soft, atmospheric light and a focus on the sublime beauty of nature. The central figure, a woman with a tambourine, stands near a flowing river, her form enveloped in the hazy atmosphere. The ruins of a bridge in the distance add a sense of history and decay, while the lush foliage and distant mountains create a sense of depth and scale.
