Catalogue Note
This large-scale drawing is a fine example of Rowlandson’s draughtsmanship. Free-flowing in style, it was probably drawn from life. 'Pure’ landscapes such as these, reveal his exceptional mastery of pen, ink and washes and rarely appear on the market. For other drawings from the Weldon collection, see lots 93-104.
