1867
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1867 by John William North, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a lone figure standing in a field, dressed in a long coat and hat. The background has a simple farm scene with a fence, a few trees, and a small building. The artist used lots of fine lines to create shading, giving it a textured look. The drawing looks quick and loose, almost like a sketch made on the spot. The lines are tight and overlapping, which is a technique called cross-hatching. Check out more about cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
John William North (London 1 January 1842 – 20 December 1924 Stamborough, Somerset) was a British landscape painter, mainly in watercolour, and illustrator, a prominent member of the Idyllists.
