专家说明

Prout was born in Plymouth, Devon, the son of a worker from the naval dockyard. He joined sketching expeditions led by a master while at Plymouth Grammar School and aged 18 he met the publisher John Britton in a bookshop who took him on a sketching tour of the West Country. By 1802 he was working for Britton in London but by 1805 ill health forced him to return to Devon. The present watercolours date from January 1808 shortly before his return to London. They are excellent examples of his early style when the influence of his fellow Devonian Francis Towne is evident.
Coldrenick House is at Menheniot near Liskeard in Cornwall.
