A fine Summer Evening

Illustrator: William Makepeace Thackeray

Illustration to Chapter 62, Thackeray's Vanity Fair

...[Dobbin] admired the drawings of the goodnatured little artist [Emma], who sate upon steamers' decks and drew crags and castles, or she mounted upon donkeys and ascended into ancient robber-towers, attended by her two aides-de-camp, Georgy and Dobbin.

(This illustration is interesting in the sense that the background is exactly what Emma is drawing.)
