Country Scene in Cumberland, 1805. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
Country Scene in Cumberland, 1805. This scene with rustic cottage perched high in difficult and interesting terrain finds Rowlandson in a strongly masculine mood. The forms are boldy modeled and less controlled than in most of his landscapes. He penetrates this subject with warmth and life through a scheme of short rounded lines, with a bigness of coloration which captures nature at a moment when she is at her best. Strong light casting strong transparent shadows animates the scene, while the aptly placed figures add charm, interest, and scale. This is a veritable symphony in neutral warm and cool tones of broken color which runs the gamut of the spectrum. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]
