Drawings, watercolours and oil sketches by William Linnell are in the collections of the British Museum and Tate Britain in London, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and elsewhere. Woodland scenes are a particular characteristic of Linnell’s oeuvre, and this fine watercolour is stylistically comparable to a study of trees by the artist in the British Museum.
