Summary: The dainity water-colour paintings executed by Birket Foster probably appeal to the majority of the British public more than the work of any other artist. For many years during the early part of his career he was engaged in drawing on woodblocks for the engraver. from which he acquired a minuteness in detail that continued to pervade his paintings in later life. The result was that he produced scenes from Nature with an exactness that the most uninitiated in art are able to understand and appreciate. Subject: Watercolor painting. English - 19th century.
