Romeo and Juliet is a 1850 watercolor by Samuel Phillips Jackson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A quiet watercolour shows a scene from Romeo and Juliet. The artist used fine lines to build light and shadow on paper. A note on the back says it might be by Samuel Phillips Jackson. One detail stands out: the paper has a faint sketch underneath the finished drawing. This suggests the artist planned the scene carefully before adding color. Look up the artist Jackson, Samuel Phillips next.
