This drawing shows a quiet country scene near Minster, Kent. It was made early in the 1800s by the Grieve family using watercolour. The Grieves were a team of scene painters who worked for London theatres like Covent Garden. Their watercolours often captured real landscapes in Kent and the South of England. This sheet belongs to a larger collection donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum by the family itself. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
