Rossi Ashton drew this in 1897. It’s a quick watercolor sketch for a magazine. Cavalry soldiers charge in, swords raised for battle. The sketch was meant to appear in The Penny Illustrated Press. It carries Ashton’s initials and the year, and shows how artists helped news pages feel alive. The museum got this batch of drawings in 1914 from Sir William James Ingram. movement: Impressionism, Realism
