Created by James Duffield Harding, a prodigious artist known for his exceptional talent from an early age, this artwork showcases his mastery of both pencil and watercolor on wove paper. Measuring at 25.9x37.3 cm, this piece is currently housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. It is a testament to Harding's artistic prowess and serves as a reminder of his remarkable achievements throughout his career.
