13
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Studies of Flowers and Plants, 1876-1898 is a 13 by Edward John, Sir Poynter, a Impressionism work, depicting Broad-leaved Tree, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a few branches of a broad-leaved tree, drawn in loose, quick lines. The leaves are simple but detailed, with some shading to show their shape. The paper has a few faint marks, and the whole thing looks like it was done fast, almost like a note of what the artist saw. The date "17/09/1898" is scrawled in the corner, and the artist signed it. This kind of sketch was likely made to practice or study nature up close. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum—they have more of these.
Sir Edward John Poynter, 1st Baronet (20 March 1836 – 26 July 1919) was an English painter, designer, and draughtsman, who served as President of the Royal Academy.
