Description
John Ruskin (also in this gallery) admired Prout’s strength as a draftsman. Like the topographical watercolorists of the 18th century, Prout emphasized form over color in his watercolors, as is evident in the monochromatic, delicate English views in this sketchbook.- {{cite web|title=Sketchbook: "Mountainous Landscape with Bridge"|url=false|author=Samuel Prout|year=1814|access-date=19 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
