Sketchbook: Study of Cross and Rowboat (on back cover) — Bound Volume, by Samuel Prout (British, 1783–1852), made in England, 19th century, dated 1814. John Ruskin (also in this gallery) admired Prout’s strength as a draftsman.
Like the topographical watercolorists of the 18th century, Prout emphasized form over color in his watercolors, as is evident in the monochromatic, delicate English views in this sketchbook. Physical description: graphite; Each page: 13.5 x 23.4 cm (5 5/16 x 9 3/16 in.).
