Description: | Francis Towne painted many of his most outstanding watercolours as a result of his visit to Wales in 1777. This view shows a waterfall on the River Lledr, close to Llewellyn Peak. The paper shows a fold line ~ artists such as Towne sometimes carried folded sketching pages in a portfolio, rather than a sketchbook. Outlines in fine pen with thin washes of transparent colour create a stylised design in Towne's characteristic manner. White paper has been left bare for the tumbling water of the fall. Francis Towne worked as a drawing master in Exeter, Devon. He later moved to London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1777 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Francis Towne | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
