James Wyatt
James Wyatt is represented here by a single sheet, a ceiling design after Piranesi that places him within the architectural drawing tradition of late eighteenth-century Britain. Watercolor and pen and ink over graphite carry the composition, a technique suited to the layered washes and precise linework of such schemes. The collection holds this one drawing, dated 1790, tying the architect's decorative imagination to a named Irish interior at Castlecoole.
