Samuel Prout (1783-1852)
A Barge on a River

Signed on prow of barge:
S. Prout.
Watercolour and pencil heightened with touches of bodycolour
18 by 34cm., 7 by 13 ¼ in.

Provenance:
A Deceased Estate, Leeds, 1925

This dates from circa 1815-19 before Prout's first trip to the Continent and the development of his later style. It may relate to a drawing for `Studies of Boats and Coastal Scenery' which was published by Ackermann in 1816.
