A Heath in Sussex is a 1812 graphite by William Collins, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is a landscape titled A Heath in Sussex. It was created between 1810 and 1815. The artist used watercolor over graphite with scratching out on wove paper, which was a common technique during that time. This combination of media allowed for subtle texture and color variations. The use of scratching out to create highlights and details is a notable aspect of this work. To learn more about this style, look into the movement: Romanticism.
William Collins (8 September 1788, London – 17 February 1847, London) was an English landscape and genre painter.
