Description

John Ruskin (also in this gallery) admired Prout’s strength as a draftsman. Like the topographical watercolorists of the 18th century, Prout emphasized form over color in his watercolors, as is evident in the monochromatic, delicate English views in this sketchbook.

TWW Comment

Could this be Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh? The inscription on the bottom right of this sketch might read 'Craigmillar' and the features of the building are simliar.
