"Solitude at Strawberry Hill" is a watercolor drawing by English artist Thomas Rowlandson, dating from around 1822. The drawing captures a serene scene of a man reading in a chair amidst the gardens of Strawberry Hill, a Gothic Revival mansion designed by Horace Walpole. Rowlandson, known for his satirical caricatures, employed a delicate touch in this work, highlighting the architectural details and the lush greenery of the surroundings. This piece offers a glimpse into the contemplative atmosphere of English gardens in the 19th century and serves as a testament to Rowlandson's versatility as an artist.
