A Study from Nature.
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Study from Nature. is a work by Ward, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a weathered wooden barn with a leaning door and a broken beam. Inside, faint shapes suggest animals or people. A large tree looms over the roof, its branches heavy with leaves. The artist used quick, rough lines to show texture—wood grain, smoke, and even the dirt ground. The whole scene feels half-finished, like a quick note from nature.
