The Back of George Hibberts Esqr House at Putney Sepr 12th 1812.
[Drawing by John Claude Nattes.]
[n.d., c.1812.]
Fine ink and graphite sketch. Sheet 235 x 330mm (9¼ x 13"). Laid on card at sides.
The back of a large house, seen through massive double gates, to a yard with several water barrels. John Claude Nattes (c.1765–1839) was a watercolourist and topographical draughtsman of either French or English origin. In 1789, Joseph Banks commissioned Nattes to record the architecture of Lincolnshire, resulting in more than 700 drawings and watercolours produced between 1789 and 1797. This remarkable body of work remains an important record of pre-Victorian topography. He later accompanied John Stoddart on tours of Scotland, providing illustrations for Remarks on Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland (1801). Nattes was among the earliest practitioners of watercolour painting in Britain and was associated with the founding of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1804. Although expelled two years later, for exhibiting other people's work as his own, he continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1814.

[Drawing by John Claude Nattes.]
[n.d., c.1812.]
Ink sketch with grey wash. Sheet 230 x 330mm (9 x 13"). Laid on card at sides
A house and gardens, with a child playing with a wooden horse. Probably the Putney Park House in Pleasance Road, Rowhampton, demolished and replaced by a new house by Decimus Burton (1837-8). John Claude Nattes (c.1765–1839) was a watercolourist and topographical draughtsman of either French or English origin. In 1789, Joseph Banks commissioned Nattes to record the architecture of Lincolnshire, resulting in more than 700 drawings and watercolours produced between 1789 and 1797. This remarkable body of work remains an important record of pre-Victorian topography. He later accompanied John Stoddart on tours of Scotland, providing illustrations for Remarks on Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland (1801). Nattes was among the earliest practitioners of watercolour painting in Britain and was associated with the founding of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1804. Although expelled two years later, for exhibiting other people's work as his own, he continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1814.
