Summer Evening c. 19th century

"Summer Evening" is an engraving by David Lucas, a 19th century British artist, after a painting by John Constable. The print, which is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, captures a peaceful countryside scene with a prominent crescent moon in the sky, a herd of cows in the foreground, and a distant view of a valley. This artwork showcases Lucas's masterful use of line and tone to create a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, characteristic of the Romantic period.
