Study of trees before a mountain slope, Abraham Teerlink, 1786 - 1857
Large-scale, impeccably worked out studies of trees on blue paper rank among Teerlink’s most attractive works. Such drawings were part of his ‘artistic archive’ from which the artist could draw upon for his paintings. A close relative of the stand of trees features in Teerlink’s View in the park of the Palazzo Chigi at Ariccia on display in the nearby Waterloo Gallery.
