Sketchbook: "Mountainous Landscape with Bridge", 1814. John Ruskin (also in this gallery) admired Prout’s strength as a draftsman. Like the topographical watercolourists of the 18th century, Prout emphasized form over colour in his watercolours, as is evident in the monochromatic, delicate English views in this sketchbook.
