A George III Pen and Ink Drawing of an English Countryside Scene by Richard Leech on Panel

18th century
Description

A highly detailed pen and ink drawing by Richard Leech laid onto pine panel. To the back is the inscription ‘picture drawn by R. Leech father of Mary Higson Leech married to John Thomas Dawson. Mary was born in Alvaston Derbyshire in 1768 to Richard, the artist, and Mary. She married John Thomas Dawson in Goldington, Bedford on the 5th April 1800.

The scene is a delightful English scene with country house, folly, cattle and a bridge in the foreground. Whilst there is a thistle in the foreground, it remains more likely, as an English artist, that this depicts an English scene.

The bottom right denotes: “R Leech, 1792. Inv. D. Lit’ for ‘invention de delineavit’ suggesting he ‘invented the image and drew it’ perhaps for an engraving.

The panel is bowed but a truly remarkable and exquisite survivor.

Measuring: 47 cm x 33 cm

English, 1792

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

George III landscape art, spanning the late 18th to early 19th centuries, often features romanticised pastoral scenes of the British countryside, incorporating elements like rustic bridges, mature trees, and winding streams.

Artists during this period typically utilised iron gall or carbon-based inks applied with quill pens onto handmade rag paper or prepared wooden panels.

Authentic period pieces display natural age-related patination, subtle wood shrinkage along the grain, and historical ink oxidisation without modern synthetic binders.

Position the piece within a curated gallery wall or lean it against a neutral backdrop on a sideboard alongside ceramic vessels to highlight its monochromatic tones.

Keep the wood panel in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and sudden temperature fluctuations to prevent warping or ink fading.
