1805
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Rick making near Lincoln is a 1805 watercolor by Peter De Wint, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a sandy beach with a few people scattered around. Some are standing on a grassy hill, while others sit near a fence. Haystacks are piled on the shore, and the sky is pale with a soft light. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving it a quick, natural feel. The painting looks like it was done fast, maybe while the artist was outside. The people seem small and simple, not fancy at all. If you like this style, check out Romanticism next.
