Samuel Prout (English, 1783-1852), Beauvais Cathedral from the North
Beauvais Cathedral from the North
New Haven, CT, Yale Center for British Art, Bequest of Joseph F. McCrindle, 2009
Grahite and bodycolor on beige paper
16 1/16 X 10 9/16 ins., 40.8 X 26.9 cm.
Prout prepared detailed pencil drawings of various views on the Contintent which would only be worked up in watercolor upon his return to England. The artist never sold any of these topographical drawings during his lifetime, since he needed them to produce related watercolors over time, which typically varied only in their staffage.
