EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful color sketch of trees, believed to be located at St Donats in Glamorgan, Wales, dates back to around 1842. The artwork was created by Henrietta Grace Baden Powell (nee Smyth), the mother of the renowned British army officer and founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. The serene and natural scenery depicted in the painting reflects the strong connection between the Baden-Powell family and Wales. Henrietta, born in 1824, was an accomplished artist and an avid lover of nature. Her passion for the outdoors and appreciation for the beauty of the natural world were undoubtedly passed down to her son, who would later establish the Scout Movement in 1907. The Scouts, which emphasize outdoor activities, self-reliance, and respect for nature, were heavily influenced by Henrietta's love for the natural world and her artistic abilities. The trees in this painting, with their vibrant autumn colors and graceful branches, evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. The Victorian-era sketch captures the essence of the landscape at St Donats, a place that holds significant personal and historical importance for the Baden-Powell family. This artwork serves as a testament to Henrietta's artistic talent and her deep connection to nature, which played a crucial role in shaping the values and ideals of her famous son.
