 J.M.W
[Manuscript, pen, ink and watercolour of the gardens of an Austrian Schloss on the banks of the Schwarzau river, near Schwarzau am Steinfelde]
[no date, but circa 1780]. Pen, ink and watercolour plan on laid paper, signed with initials in lower right corner ' J.M.W' (Some expert restoration, including tears to old folds and an irregularly-shaped area replaced in field to the left of the estate). Sheet size: 35 x 24 1/2 inches. In gilt frame with beading. 43 1/2 x 32 1/4 inches.
A beautifully executed garden design, possibly for Schloss Scharzau am Steinfelde in Austria.
The design shows the Schloss in outline only, with the gardens concentrated to the north. A terrace leads to an almost symmetrical formal garden flanked by foliage covered walkways. The estate then sweeps to the left and the garden takes on a less formal aspect with a winding river, islands, bridges, copses, and a summer house at the far end of the estate.
