Description: | A young lad stands with his back turned against home and security. He is waiting for the rowing boat to take him aboard the sailing ship on the horizon and an uncertain life at sea. The loose brushwork in this watercolour is typical of Luke Clennell's style. He was an engraving apprentice of Thomas Bewick in Newcastle from 1797 to 1804. He gave up engraving for painting around 1812. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1800 to 1815 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Luke Clennell | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
