Description: | This is a watercolour study for a trade card engraving for A. Cunningham of South Bridge, Edinburgh. It shows Luke Clennell's typical lively and broad handling of paint. The crease marks show where the drawing has been wrapped around the engraving block before the design was transferred. The study was made whilst Clennell was an apprentice in the Newcastle engraving workshop of Thomas Bewick. Like Bewick, Clennell often made preliminary drawings before starting an engraving. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East North East watercolours art designers North East artists children natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
