About this work

This early 19th-century watercolour drawing shows a water mill. It’s one of many scenic views the Grieve family painted around Kent and the South of England. The Grieves were a whole family of scene painters who worked for London theatres like Covent Garden. Their later watercolours mix romantic flair with sharp, realistic detail.
