Derwentwater (View of a Lake)
Etching, soft-ground and mezzotint, 1896, 205 x 280 mm., Hardie 39 published state. Very fine impression in brown ink on strong wove paper with full margins, signed in pencil. The plate is after one of the unpublished drawings in Turner’s Liber Studiorum, then in the possession of Henry Vaughan, Esq., now in the Vaughan Bequest in the National Gallery, London. Short’s superb mezzotint technique clearly and subtly delineates the mist rising from the water, and the alternately heavily- and lightly-worked areas in the foreground establish a play of light that ultimately lets us focus on the two figures seated on the hill. Derwentwater is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Lake District in Cumberland in northwest England.
