Artist

Skill

Skill is a Barbizon school artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This artist left a small but charming trail of watercolors that quietly capture everyday winter scenes. One of those, Sheep in a Turnip Field: Winter (around 1866), shows a flock grazing under a pale sky while turnips dot the frosty field. The loose brush and soft blues lift the scene above a simple farm sketch.

Tap Sheep in a Turnip Field: Winter to see how the paper’s grain catches the light in this tiny winter vignette.
