1820
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Charles I and his Secretary is a 1820 watercolor by George Cattermole, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two men in a cluttered room. One sits at a table, reading a paper, while the other leans back in a chair, holding a red stick. The man on the right wears a dark coat, a medal, and fancy boots. Books, a helmet, and scattered papers fill the floor. A portrait hangs on the wall behind them. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes to show the scene. The lighting is gentle, making the faces and objects stand out without harsh shadows. Next, look up George Cattermole to see more of his work.
The watercolour depicts Charles I and his secretary seated in a modest room, surrounded by papers on a desk.
