クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「William Day was largely unknown until the discovery in 1951 of a large group of his drawings.⁣ ⁣ Initially self-taught, Day became friends with the artist John Webber (1751-1793) in 1787, when he was 23, and the two made sketching tours together.⁣ ⁣ Webber's influence on his drawing is clear in both his palette of soft colours and his practice of making detailed pencil drawings on the spot with colour notes, to be worked up later.⁣ ⁣ Day's watercolours, particularly those from his Derbyshire tours, have a remarkable clarity and crispness.⁣ ⁣ William Day (1764 - 1807), 'Dovedale Church, Staffordshire'. Estimate: £6,000 – £10,000.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours | 8 December, London.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #ClassicWeek #ChristiesClassicWeek #classicweeklondon」11月30日 23時17分
