Description: | The artist may have included himself as the man with a folder under his arm at the front of the picture. He is walking across the Groat Market, Newcastle, where trestle-table tops and legs are stacked ready to make market stalls. St Nicholas' Church is behind. Robert Johnson was one of the most talented apprentices taught by Thomas Bewick, the Newcastle wood-engraver and artist. The funny and animated faces of the two urchins (on the back axle of the coach) are not painted in Johnson's style and it has been suggested that Thomas Bewick painted them. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 to 1796 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Johnson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
