About the piece

This 1825 oil sketch on paper from the Yale Center for British Art demonstrates a remarkably modern sensibility. With its muted palette of terracotta, ochre, and soft grey-blues, the artist captures the play of light and atmosphere over a building and its surrounding trees with quick, evocative brushwork.
