Cascade of the Aray at Inveraray (Scotland)
John White Abbott British
Not on view
A life-long resident of Exeter in Devon, Abbott was a close friend and student of Francis Towne. Both worked in a similar style and pushed the restrained vocabulary of 18th-century tinted watercolor painting in new expressive directions. This study of a waterfall was made during a 1791 tour of Scotland. Abbott typically numbered, dated, and identified subjects on the backs of his drawings, and this example is number thirty-three from a group of about eighty made that summer.
