"Old Tower, Leith" is an etching by Scottish artist John Clerk of Eldin, dating back to the 18th century. The print depicts a view of a fortified tower in Leith, Scotland, with a ship in the foreground and the water depicted with expressive lines. The detailed etching, created using a sharp needle and acid, is a testament to Clerk's artistic skill and his interest in the landscape of his homeland. The work currently resides in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
