Rizpah keeping watch by night, mezzotint after J.M.W. Turner, 1812
A seated woman in a long robe holds a flaming torch beside a draped body on the ground, under a crescent moon in a dark, wooded landscape. Rendered in sepia mezzotint, the night scene has soft tonal gradations, a glowing torch, and a distant hill beneath a pale sky.
