Samuel Smith, Roundel showing a landscape with a waterfall

Roundel showing a landscape with a waterfall, 1831 or later

Samuel Smith (fl. 1800 - fl. 1840)

RA Collection: Art

A monochrome watercolour roundel showing a landscape with a river flowing down a gulley in small waterfalls with trees on either side. The style, subject matter, colouring and shape of this drawing suggest it was intended as a design to be transferred onto porcelain. Samuel Smith was a Worcester porcelain painter who worked for the Flight and Barr company and possibly others. John Homes Smith and his son John Halphead Smith who collected these drawings also worked as porcelain painters and they probably knew, or were perhaps related to, Samuel Smith..
