Richard RA Westall

Richard RA Westall is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Richard Westall painted watercolours of gentle rural scenes and Bible stories in the late 1700s to early 1800s. In Landscape with Figures and Cows he places quiet cattle and people under soft English skies, while Tobias and the Fish shows the angel-guided journey from the Book of Tobit. These works sit in a tradition of British watercolour storytelling that kept careful detail and calm light. See how the cow’s flank catches the light in Landscape with Figures and Cows.
