About the piece
This 1805 watercolor sketch by Paul Sandby captures a candid moment between Noel Desenfans and Sir Francis Bourgeois, the founders of the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Executed with fluid washes and expressive line work, the scene shows the two men in an informal setting, reflecting the close personal and professional bond that shaped one of England's first public art galleries.
