1884
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Design for a Science Certificate, Department of Science and Art is a 1884 by Edward John, Sir Poynter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a mix of architectural designs. There’s a large tomb-like structure with rounded tops and small figures carved into it. Smaller drawings show furniture, a vase, and a draped figure. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough plan. The artist focused on shapes and details without full color. The tomb design looks like it might be for a monument or award. The sketches feel like early drafts, not finished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s sketches.
The design served as a certificate awarded for first-class achievement in science, created by Sir Edward John Poynter in 1884 for the Department of Science and Art.
