If you’ve ever run your fingers over a watercolor just to feel the paper’s tooth catch the pigment, you’d get Alfred Sacheverell Coke. He spent years sketching at Petworth House in Sussex, turning every balustrade and peacock feather into a quiet drama of light. The way he lets Ganymede’s skin almost dissolve into the sky in Eros and Ganymede, like he’s handing you a cloud, shows how watercolor can be both fragile and muscular. Slide over to that painting; the pinks are still singing.
