The fosse, Lincoln
Item Information
- Title:
- The fosse, Lincoln
- Description:
-
Towards the left a sheet of water, with two ducks near the front. Across the water a line of low buildings, with a tower rising behind them on the right ; before them is a long, narrow foot bridge. In the middle of the plate is a sailing boat, then trees, and near the front a boat ashore with mast and no rigging. In the foreground, long, shallow steps descending from the right towards the water. There is an unfinished sketch of a wooden shed with a man standing at the door, begun at the left end (afterwards treated as the top) of the plate. The principal subject is already well advanced. There is an inn (the " Horse and Groom ") quite to the left, which was afterwards effaced. The tall mast on the right is hardly begun and the trees are lower. The whole foreground is blank, without indication of steps.
