Artist

John White Abbott (1764-1851)

Collection

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Description

A life-long resident of Exeter in Devon, Abbott was a close friend and student of Francis Towne, working in a similar style that pushed the restrained vocabulary of 18th-century tinted watercolor in new expressive directions. This study of a spritely waterfall was made during a Scottish tour of 1791. Abbott typically numbered, dated, and identified the subjects of his drawings on the backs. This is number thirty-three of a group of about eighty made in Scotland that summer.
