1826
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Eagle's Nest, Killarney is a 1826 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rough, hilly landscape with a small lake and a few trees. The lines are light and quick, like quick pencil strokes. In the distance, there’s a cluster of buildings near the water. The artist signed it in the corner: *"Eagle’s Nest, Killarney."* The loose, sketchy style makes it feel like a quick study rather than a polished drawing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
A pencil drawing by Daniel Maclise depicts a landscape scene in Killarney, Ireland. The work is part of a larger collection of 390 drawings and sketches housed in a pillar stand of thirty frames, which includes contributions from other artists such as Calderon, T.S. Cooper, and Landseer. The collection features figures and landscapes rendered in pencil, pen and ink, and color, with some works by additional hands. Among the subjects represented are notable literary and public figures, including Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Benjamin Disraeli.
