This untitled painting by John Le Conte hangs at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It’s a watercolor from 1861, showing Edinburgh’s Theatre Royal before changes were made. The work carries Le Conte’s signature and notes right on the page. Le Conte spent most of his career engraving, but late in life he switched gears and painted watercolors and ink drawings. The Theatre Royal painting is one of the few pieces that show his brushwork instead of his engraver’s tools. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
