A Mountain Valley with a Waterfall

Glover employed a simple gray wash, applying the pigment with a light hand to achieve smooth tonal transitions across hills, trees, and water. The shading appears to result from gentle rubbing of the brush or pencil, creating soft gradients characteristic of early Romantic landscape drawing.

Created circa 1795, the drawing belongs to Glover’s early period when he was exploring British and Irish scenery. Its provenance is not extensively documented, but it remains an example of his formative work in landscape representation prior to his later, more detailed paintings.
