Note du spécialiste

These early watercolours by Rooke, made when he was 22, are far from the decorative, Pre-Raphaelite work he is most associated with at Morris & Co. and when working with Edward Burne-Jones. Here we see him working within the conventions of early 19th Century watercolour painting, using an almost monochrome palette to depict topographical views.
