Interior of the Capuchin Convent at Albano is a 1850 watercolor by Hugh Carter, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a dimly lit room with arched stone walls and a rough floor. Four people sit at a long table, writing or reading by candlelight. The walls are bare except for a small framed picture above the table, and the light flickers off the uneven stone. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist focused on the quiet moment rather than perfect detail. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this painting up close.
