a refined original watercolor (early 19th century) by the english painter thomas hand, an artist active in london between the late 18th and early 19th centuries and known as a pupil and follower of george morland.
the work, titled going to cover, fits squarely into the tradition of late 18th-century english rural painting, a field in which hand distinguished himself for his atmospheric sensitivity and fluidity of touch.
the quality of the brushwork and the balanced composition demonstrate the hand of a well-trained artist in the master's orbit.
