1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Landscape with factory buildings is a 1850 by Thomas Sidney Cooper, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a quiet industrial scene. In the foreground, two people walk near a stone bridge with arches. A small wooden hut sits beside a fence, while two tall brick chimneys loom over a cluster of factory buildings in the distance. Rolling hills and a few trees stretch out beyond. The artist used simple lines and shading to show light and shadow. The scene feels calm, even though factories were usually busy places. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up tone with repeated lines.
