Cottage and Trees by the Darent, Shoreham
Original drawing in brown wash over pencil, ca. 1825, 149 x 214 mm., ex collection: William Blake Richmond (not in Lugt). Basically a pencil and brown wash sketch with details in black ink and touches of white gouache on faded blue-grey wove paper, this is a conservative drawing, a record of a place where Calvert may have stayed. Sometime after 1824, Calvert met the Shoreham group, "the Ancients" (Samuel Palmer, George Richmond, John Linnell, etc.), and visited Shoreham where Palmer then lived. This sketch was likely made early in that acquaintance and before the prints that made Calvert famous. It comes from the collection of William Blake Richmond, a well-known painter of the next generation and the son of George Richmond, thus tying together the three major members of the group. The Darent is a shallow stream in Kent that flows by Shoreham and feeds into the Thames.
