This watercolor drawing from 1842 shows a workman’s hut at Garlinge in Kent. Made by the Grieve family, it’s a quiet scene of a workshop in the countryside. The Romantic style gives it a gentle, nostalgic feel. The Grieves were a family of scene painters who worked for London theatres. This drawing is part of a larger collection they made of places in Kent and the South of England. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
