This watercolour shows a real artist’s studio in London around 1830. John Lewis, a British painter, filled the room with furniture and fabrics typical of the day. Artists used these items as props for portraits and scenes. Lewis worked during the Romantic period. His studio was on St John’s Wood Road, a common spot for creative types back then. Next, look up the artist Lewis, John Frederick (RA POWCS).
