Description

Watercolour over traces of pencil heightened with touches of bodycolour. Smith was the son of a Cumberland gardener and studied under Sawrey Gilpin (1733-1807), another artist from the North-west. Gilpin introduced Smith to the Earl of Warwick who paid for his trip to Italy from 1776 until 1781, hence his nickname.

Smith made various tours of Wales and his Welsh watercolours are usually precisely dated and inscribed with the subject.
