Description

In addition to landscapes that capture the evanescence of wind, clouds and rain Cox began, during the 1830s, to represent historic interiors at Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle and Chatsworth, all in Derbyshire, and extends that interest here. This drawing of a massive, early British chair demonstrates the expressive potential of historic objects and likely was made during one of the artist's annual visits to the Welsh village of Betws-y-coed, where he stayed at the Royal Oak Hotel. Medium: watercolor.
