In prachtich lânskipsskilderij fan de Ruïnes fan Tintern Abbey as in famylje sit op it gers fan it terrein en hat in picknick, wylst in arbeider stribbet om it terrein op te hâlden en wy kinne ek twa oare minsken sjen dy't fier fuort rinne foarby in bôge.
It byld is weelderich mei grien en beammen dy't de ruïnes bedekke en it gebrûk fan ferljochting en skaad meitsje foar in ideaal pittoresk byld.
Dit is in retoucheerde reproduksje fan âlde masters fan digitale keunst fan in ôfbylding yn it iepenbier domein dat te keap is as in rôle print.

Berne yn Portland, Maine, Colman ferhuze nei New York City mei syn famylje as bern. Syn heit iepene in boekhannel, it oanlûken fan in literêr kliïntel dat mooglik ynfloed hat op de artistike ûntwikkeling fan Colman
Hy wurdt nei alle gedachten koart studearre ûnder de Hudson River School-skilder Asher Durand, en hy eksposearre syn earste wurk oan de National Academy of Design yn 1850.
Troch 1854 hy hie syn eigen New York City studio iepene. It folgjende jier waard hy keazen ta lid fan 'e Nasjonale Akademy, mei folslein lidmaatskip skonken yn 1862.
His landscape paintings in the 1850s and 1860s were influenced by the Hudson River School, an example being Meadows and Wildflowers at Conway (1856) now in the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College.
He was also able to paint in a romantic style, which had become more fashionable after the Civil War. One of his best-known works, and one of the iconic images of Hudson River School art, is his Storm King on the Hudson (1866), now in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
Colman was an inveterate traveler, and many of his works depict scenes from foreign cities and ports. He made his first trip abroad to France and Spain in 1860–1861, and returned for a more extensive four-year European tour in the early 1870s in which he spent much time in Mediterranean locales.
Colman often depicted the architectural features he encountered on his travels: cityscapes, castles, brêgen, bôgen, and aqueducts feature prominently in his paintings of foreign scenes. Yn 1870 and again in the 1880s he journeyed to the western United States, painting western landscapes comparable in scope and style to those of Thomas Moran.
Colman’s artistic activities became even more diverse late in life. By the 1880s he worked extensively as an interior designer, collaborating with his friend Louis Comfort Tiffany on the design of Samuel Clemens’ Hartford home, and later on the Fifth Avenue home of Henry and Louisine Havemeyer.
He also became a major collector of Asian decorative objects, en skreau twa boeken oer mjitkunde en keunst, ien dêrfan hie de titel Nature's Harmonic Unity, de oare dy't de titel Evenredige foarm hie. Colman stoar yn New York City yn 1920.
