About this work

Here’s a simple sketch from the 1800s. It’s a watercolor drawing of a pavilion beside a river, probably by Thomas Grieve. The artist came from a family of scene painters who worked for London theaters. The Grieves were known for painting stage sets. This drawing shows their skill outside the theater, too. It’s part of a collection given to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
