"Powerscourt House, Dublin" is an aquatint by the British artist James Malton. It depicts a street scene with a prominent building, likely a townhouse or manor house. The detailed architectural rendering and inclusion of figures in the street showcase the style of topographical art popular in the late 18th century. The image, dated to 1795, highlights the architectural beauty and urban life of Dublin at the time. This aquatint is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Irish architecture and the social landscape of 18th-century Dublin.
