Deer Resting in Albury Park after 1780

"Deer Resting in Albury Park" (after 1780) is a watercolor drawing by Anthony Devis, a prominent English portrait and landscape painter. The scene depicts a tranquil parkland landscape with deer resting in the foreground. Devis's use of delicate washes and subtle shading captures the soft, hazy light of the English countryside, characteristic of his later work. The work's composition, with its distant hills and open meadow, reflects the influence of 18th-century landscape painting, showcasing the romantic ideals of nature and peaceful solitude.
