Untitled is a 1850 by dorothea knighton, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a landscape print from the early 1800s. Dorothea Knighton made it in England. She didn’t sell her work but used lithography as a creative outlet. Her prints were never sold. That’s unusual for the time. She learned from James Northcote, a painter, and grew up in a family of artists in Plymouth. If you like her work, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Dorothea Knighton, an English artist born in 1780, created an untitled lithograph in 1850. Active in the early 19th century, she learned the technique of drawing on limestone blocks for printing, likely within a family environment that supported artistic pursuits. Encouraged by painter James Northcote, Knighton engaged in lithography as an intellectual and artistic hobby rather than for commercial sale. Her work reflects the amateur practice common among women of her time.
