Artist
R Short
R Short is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
R Short painted views of cities and landscapes in watercolour during the late 1700s. Their Edinburgh from the South (1777) shows Edinburgh Castle rising above the rooftops, the Firth of Forth snaking into the distance, and distant hills catching the afternoon light. The sheet uses soft washes and fine pen lines to build depth without heavy outlines. Tap the watercolour next to step right into Scotland’s capital at the close of the 18th century.
