C. M. Beresford

This artist painted scenes of everyday life in watercolour during the late 1800s. You’ll find “An Italian peasant cutting a stick” in this set, it shows a quiet moment in rural Italy with careful light and detail. Watercolour was their medium, and their work fits into that loose late-19th-century moment when artists turned their brushes to ordinary people. Tap the title to see the brushwork up close.
