Note du spécialiste

Buxton Knight was a plein-air painter whose focus on the English landscape was total. He was described by contemporaries as 'nomadic' such was his dedication to travelling around the country in search of subject matter. The present drawing depicts the typical granite of a Cornish cottage.
