Old House, Dunstable, Bedfordshire is a 1812 watercolor by Thomas Fisher, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows an old house in Dunstable. It’s from around 1812 to 1822 by Thomas Fisher, an amateur artist who loved local scenes. Fisher wasn’t born in Bedfordshire but spent years painting its buildings. Most of his surviving works are topographical views. He even wrote county histories. His art reflects the late 18th-century tradition of detailed landscape watercolours. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
