Joshua Cristall (1768-1847)
Goats by a Waterfall in a Classical Landscape

Watercolour heightened with white
28.5 by 21.8 cm., 11 ¼ by 8 ½ in.

The present classically inspired watercolour is typical of Cristall's work in the early part of his career. His mother used part of her inheritance to help foster Cristall's interest in music and classical literature and it was this early education that influenced his watercolours.
