拍品專文

The son of the artist Henry Warren (1794-1879), Edmund George Warren's landscape paintings were exhibited from 1852, the year he was elected an Associate of the New Water Colour Society, being elected a full member in 1856. Although Ruskin described his work as 'mechanical', he also found it 'careful and ingenious' in its realistic detail and finish which comes close to the work of the Pre-Raphaelites. Harvest scenes such as the present watercolour were typical of Warren's choice of subject matter.
