John White Abbott, British 1763-1851- A wooded landscape with buildings, figures and horses; pencil, pen, black ink and wash on paper, dated 'March. 1. 1832.' (lower left), bears label for the Ruskin Gallery inscribed 'John White Abbott / 1763-1851' on the backing board, 19.6 x 30.6 cm. Provenance: with The Ruskin Gallery, Stratford-on-Avon. Private Collection, UK (by descent). Note: As well as working as a painter, Abbott practiced as a surgeon and apothecary.
