Drawings of Gainsborough
A 1906 London and New York art book by Lord Ronald Gower, reproducing pencil and chalk drawings by the eighteenth-century English painter Thomas Gainsborough as plates for collectors and art students. The pictures are soft, smudged studies of trees, hedgerows and rough ground, many sketched with loose, feathery strokes and some rotated on the page, showing how a designer might build tonal landscape texture from quick, unfinished marks.
