Circle of Samuel Prout, OWS,
British 1783-1852-
Four Urban Scenes: A market in a Continental town; At a crucifix outside a church; In the porch of Ratisbon Cathedral, Regensburg; and At a well in Nuremberg;
the first two pencil and watercolour heightened with white on paper, the third pencil, pen and black ink and watercolour on paper, the fourth pencil on paper, the fourth inscribed 'Nuremberg' (lower left) and bearing inscription 'Original sketch by Prout' on the reverse of the mount, 28.6 x 22 cm. and smaller, four (4).
Note:
The present works exhibit strong similarities with the work of Prout, whose distinctive watercolours earned him the praise of contemporaries, particularly that of the eminent art critic John Ruskin (1819-1900). His topographical studies of streets and picturesque landscapes, in Britain and on the Continent, are both highly detailed and atmospheric.
