- Scope & Content:
-
Gabled house in a summer landscape, England.
Inscribed: ‘Elm tree at Rumwell Lodge. R.H. 9/80.’
Pencil; 15.5 by 28.8 cm.
Bequeathed by Mr. E.P. Westby in 1996, along with WD4426-4430, F888 (Robert Home's miniature painting cabinet) and miscellaneous Home family papers (WD4431(Additional)).
Note: At least two of the sons of Robert Home the artist, William and Richard, were skilful artists. William sometimes acted as his father’s assistant until his death in 1809, while Richard refers in his letters to the pleasure he obtained from drawing: see family letters. For examples of his work see WD3776, previously attributed to his older brother, John.
Robert, Richard’s second surviving son, inherited his father’s talent and wrote in a letter to an aunt on 17th July 1855, just before embarking for India, ‘Many thanks for your kind present - I spent part of it in buying a moist color box which I hope to find useful in sketching of which I am very fond’.
