Artist

Agnes Sutherland

Agnes Sutherland is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Agnes Sutherland disappears from the records after 1899, but her watercolors of Scottish lochs still surface in attic sales. She used gum arabic to give the paint a glassy sheen, so the mist on the water looks like it’s breathing. Try pairing one of her pale greens next to a gritty Glasgow street photo in the app—suddenly the city feels like it’s exhaling. Tap “Untitled, c. 1899” and zoom in on the ripples; you’ll see every brushstroke still holds air after a century.
