Note du spécialiste

Sir Walter Armstrong in his Memoir of Peter De Wint, London, 1888, describes de Wint's method of composing still-life from information provided by a pupil of de Wint, J.M. Heathcote: 'He would take any convenient objects he could find in the room and set them in a group on the table, with a towel or other white cloth carelessly thrown against them. These he required to be carefully imitated' (D. Scrase, Drawings and Watercolours by Peter de Wint, Cambridge, 1979, p. 15).
