Artist

James Ward (1769-1859)

Collection

Guy Peppiatt Fine Art

Description

Watercolour over traces of pencil. Ward first visited Wales in 1802 and then again in 1807. Up to this date, he had generally avoided painting or drawing pure landscapes. An early biography of Ward records that `In 1802 he traversed the length and breadth of Wales and the bordering counties, painting not only the livestock, which was the nominal object of his journey, but recording in his sketch book every picturesque or uncommon object that he encountered. As the fruits of his three months’ Welsh tour he brought back with him five hundred and eighty one sketches from Nature’ (C. Reginald Grundy, James Ward, R.A., 1909, p.32).
