Note du spécialiste
Despite the inscriptions on old labels on the reverse, these are evidently by George Barret, Senior.
When Barret first moved to England from Ireland he specialised in representing wild and mountainous landscapes. Over time his style progressed and his late gouaches became lighter and more brilliant in colour than his earlier work. The present works are a particularly fine example of his later style, which frequently presented views of the Lake District.
