1889
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Tail Piece for Chapter XXI from "Lorna Doone" is a 1889 by William Henry Drake, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a person lying face-down on the ground under a tree. Their body is still, one arm bent under them, and a hat lies nearby. A spear rests on the grass to the right, half-buried in the rough, textured lines of the field. The artist uses quick, sketchy strokes to show movement in the wind-blown grass and branches. The scene feels tense but quiet, like a moment frozen in time. If you like this style, check out Realism for more drawings that focus on everyday scenes.
Sir William Henry Drake,, was a British public servant and Colonial Treasurer of Western Australia.
