Anonymous, British, 19th century British
 Formerly attributed to Thomas Girtin British

Not on view

Acquired in 1907 as a watercolor by Thomas Girtin, this work is now considered a copy. It may have been produced at one of the regular evening gatherings hosted by Dr. Thomas Monro in his house in the Adelphi near the Strand. A collector, patron and physician, he invited artists to study watercolors by John Robert Cozens, John Henderson, Edward Dayes and often employed young artists--Girtin and J.M.W. Turner among them--to trace fine examples and add colored washes. The authorship of most "Monro School" works remains open to debate.
