Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Study of a woodman
BARKER of Bath, Thomas (1769-1847)
A sketch of a subject frequently treated by Barker. Its unfinished state reveals the artist's use of a warm brown ground to provide a middle tone on which contours were speedily sketched – as in the figure at the left. In 1813 an ink sketch of the principal figure was published in a lithographic portfolio of Barker's drawings titled 'Impressions of Rustic Figures after Nature'.
