Ink and brown wash on paper, 7 1/8 x 10 1/4 inches (180 x 260 mm). Presented elegantly in a gold and cinnabar wood frame. Primo pensiero in graphite visible in various places including in the area of the hills and windows. In very good condition with some minor surface rubbing, only visible under raking light. Mounted with paper tape to the mat board on the verso at the extreme sheet edges. With inventory labels from the Fine Art Society, London, and the prestigious West Collection of British Watercolors on the frame back. Samuel Prout was born in Plymouth in 1783 to Samuel Prout Senior, a naval outfitter, and Mary Cater, a homemaker; the fourth of fourteen children. Prout grew up in the countryside, and spent his summers as a youth sketching and painting the bucolic valleys, thatched cottages, water mills, and serene rivers in Devon. This ink and wash is likely one of Prout's early works from the years when he was under the tutelage of author, artist and educator Dr. John Bidlake.
