Beverly

These delicate 1830s–80s drawings and watercolors show quiet English lanes, river banks, and harvest fields. Beverly captured cottages along a single road, carts parked beside thatch-roofed houses, geese waddling past the wheels. One sheet shows a wooden jetty jutting into a slow river where fishing boats float at sunset, their hulls rim-lit by watercolor gold. Another sheet teems with wheat stooks and laborers in smocks during harvest. Tap into “Fishing boats at anchor: Sunset” to step into the same soft light and water.
