 "Harlech Castle" circa 1800-2 by John Sell
Cotman (1782-1842) - Watercolour on paper. Cotman toured Wales
in 1800, and made a series of drawings and watercolours of Welsh
subjects in the following years. This watercolour of Harlech
Castle in North Wales is related to a sketch he drew on 30 July
1800. Harlech Castle was built in the thirteenth century by Edward
I, and was often represented by artists at this time. It features
in watercolours by Girtin, Varley and Turner as well as Cotman. |
