1889

Dominant colour
Inital T for Chapter XLIV from "Lorna Doone" is a 1889 by William Henry Drake, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a big, messy letter T with a tree growing out of it. The tree looks tangled, with rough lines and no clear details. The background is mostly empty paper, and the artist’s name, *Watt Drake*, is signed in the corner. The T might stand for the start of a chapter in a book called *Lorna Doone*. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel fast and rough, like a quick idea rather than a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out Realism next—it’s all about showing things as they really look.
Sir William Henry Drake,, was a British public servant and Colonial Treasurer of Western Australia.
