ca. 1800-1810 (drawn)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Sketchbook containing 32 pasted-in pages of landscape drawings in pen and ink and wash. Several seem to be studies for paintings because they have been squared. 22 leaves are smaller than the size of the book. Other leaves have evidently been removed at some stage. Inscribed with three letters on the back (not the initials of the artist).
