Drawing of the Clyde (Liber Studiorum, part IV, plate 18) 1809

"Drawing of the Clyde," a mezzotint by J.M.W. Turner, is part of his "Liber Studiorum" series, a collection of landscape prints intended to help artists develop their skills. The print, published in 1809, showcases Turner's ability to capture the beauty of nature. It depicts a dramatic waterfall on the River Clyde, Scotland, framed by lush foliage and rocky cliffs. The use of light and shadow, characteristic of Turner's style, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene.
