1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Sketch of two men with large machinery is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This quick sketch shows two men on a boat. One is hunched over, pointing toward a large metal tank with pipes and a lamp on it. The other man sits below, holding a round object and looking up. The boat has ropes and pulleys, like it’s set up for some kind of work. Notice how the artist used light pencil strokes to show movement and tension. The boat looks ready for action, but everything is drawn in a loose, hurried style. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
The drawing is a pencil sketch by Daniel Maclise depicting two men alongside large machinery. It is part of a collection of 390 drawings and sketches housed in a pillar stand of thirty frames, which also includes works by other artists such as Calderon, T.S. Cooper, and Landseer.
