Cerne Abbas is a 1874 watercolor by Joseph Clark, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Joseph Clark painted Cerne Abbas in the 1870s. It’s a watercolour, not an oil. He used loose brushwork tied to Impressionism. Clark grew up in Cerne Abbas, a village in Dorset. He kept returning there to sketch and paint. His scenes of children were popular in London. Look up his oil paintings of kids at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
