View of Ullswater 

William Gilpin, a prominent figure in the development of picturesque landscape art, created "View of Ullswater" using a wash technique. This oval drawing, rendered in grayscale, depicts a serene lake nestled amongst a lush forest, with towering cliffs in the background. The prominent use of light and shade, typical of Gilpin's style, emphasizes the natural beauty of the English landscape. A small boat in the foreground adds a sense of scale and human presence to the otherwise idyllic scene. Gilpin's meticulous attention to detail and the overall composition invite viewers to appreciate the tranquility and harmony of the natural world.
