Description

Watercolour heightened with bodycolour and stopping out. Jackson is looking down the Avon Gorge towards St. Vincent's Rocks with Windsor Terrace, Clifton in the distance. To the left on the horizon is the ruined windmill which was turned into an observatory by the artist William West in 1828 and it still exists as such today. Beneath it is visible the so-called Giant's Cave.
Jackson was born to a Bristol accountant and lived and worked there all his life. He is often called the father of the Bristol School.
