Dilapidated Buildings on a Lane
1124
Prout produced many versions of roadside cottages and historic buildings, like this 15th-16th century gothic structure, and many of them were also extensively copied during the height of his fame in the Victorian period, including by his nephew. It has often been observed that such works could be stylised pot-boilers, and that his best work was more naturalistic, often monochrome, and of English subjects.
The present work is a fine example of Prout's early monocromatic studies of picturesque country cottages and other buildings.
