Richard Redgrave RA (1804 - 1888)

RA Collection: Art

A sheet featuring two small compositional sketches in pen and ink for 'Bad News from Sea'. Redgrave painted this scene and exhibited it at the Royal Academy in 1842.

The contrast of light and shade seems to have been the artist's preoccupation in many of the compositional sketches in the album.
