Samuel Smith (fl. 1800 - fl. 1840)
RA Collection: Art
A watercolour view at Forge Mill, Westmorland, depicting a bridge over a small waterfall with hills in the distance and trees on either side. Samuel Smith was a porcelain painter who worked for the company of Flight, Barr and Barr in Worcester. John Homes Smith and his son John Halphead Smith who collected these drawings also worked as porcelain painters and it is almost certain that they knew, or were perhaps related to, Samuel Smith.
