Pencil Drawings by Edward Lear
We are proud to offer to you and fresh to the market two Pencil sketches on Buff paper with White wash by Edward Lear.
Edward Lear (12 May 1812– 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, who is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised.
His principal areas of work as an artist were threefold: as a draughtsman employed to make illustrations of birds and animals making coloured drawings during his journeys, which he reworked later, sometimes as plates for his travel books and as a (minor) illustrator of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poems.
As an author, he is known principally for his popular nonsense collections of poems, songs, short stories, botanical drawings, recipes and alphabets. He also composed and published twelve musical settings of Tennyson's poetry.
Beautiful attention to detail.

Man sat beside a Lakeside in a woodland setting.
Written description within the 2 pictures.
