The story of this work

Overview

The drawing depicts Painswick House in Gloucestershire, created by Thomas Robins in an unfinished state using pen and ink with watercolor on paper. Numbered "No 67" in brown ink in the lower right corner, the work is oriented in landscape format and mounted on a single album page. Robins, known for his depictions of English rococo gardens, captures the house and its surroundings with a fresh, personal approach. The image serves as a topographical and aesthetic record of a fashion that has since largely disappeared.
