George Pickering

George Pickering is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

George Pickering painted quiet English landscapes in watercolor around 1816. In “Near the old bath, Matlock, Derbyshire,” he shows cattle drinking from a river while soft light plays on the trees and distant buildings. His brush captures the soft greens and gentle slopes of the Derwent Valley without drama, just a clear day in the early 1800s. Take a closer look at the ripples on the water in this piece.
