Description

Signed lower centre and inscribed with title and numbered 7 verso . Laporte trained as an artist in London under John Melchior Barralet and became an accomplished topographical artist working in watercolour and commonly bodycolour as in the present work. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere from 1785. He visited the Lake District in 1790 (see a dated sketchbook in the British Museum) and exhibited Lake District views at the Royal Academy throughout the 1790s. These included seven views of Ullswater exhibited between 1791 and 1805. For similar gouache views of the Lake District, see Cecilia Powell and Stephen Hebron, Savage Grandeur and Noblest Thoughts – Discovering the Lake District 1750-1820, nos. 29-30.
