Description

Pen and grey and brown ink and watercolour over pencil, squared
The George Inn, visible to the left, is the original pilgrim's Inn of Glastonbury Abbey. Pevsner described it as 'one of the most sumptuous of the small number of surviving inns before the Reformation.' Beyond is the Parish church of St. John'sdating from the fifteenth century with its tall west tower. This picture is a later work and clearly shows the influence of Rowlandson under whose tutelage he became 'a very professional amateur indeed' (Huon Mallalieu, Dictionary of British Watercolour Artists, 2002, vol. II, p.77).
