Description: | This pen-and-ink drawing is by Robert Bewick, son of the North-East animal artist and wood-engraver Thomas Bewick. The drawing probably shows the house belonging to Richard Wingate, Thomas Bewick's close friend. Wingate was also a distinguished naturalist, and had preserved many of the birds that Bewick drew. The Bewick family also occupied a house at the Forth, now Circus Lane, between 1781 and 1812. The sketch illustrates Robert Bewick's interest in architectural drawing. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1815 to 1830 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Elliot Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
