Curator: This drawing, held within the Tate Collections, is by Lady Susan Elizabeth Percy, dating back to the early 19th century. Editor: It feels both serene and subtly melancholic. The figures, though small, animate the scene. Curator: Indeed. Note the artist's choice of medium, likely graphite or a similar material, allowing for delicate shading to capture the scene at Tunbridge Wells. The making of such a drawing suggests a privileged engagement with leisure and the landscape. Editor: The path winding through the trees, the way the figures are arranged… it evokes a pilgrimage, or at least a journey, carrying symbolic weight. Curator: Perhaps the journey for health and leisure, the social rituals of taking the waters? Editor: Precisely. The trees, almost cathedral-like, frame the human activity as something sacred. Curator: A fascinating insight. I am left considering the means of producing leisure itself. Editor: And I, the enduring human desire to find meaning in the everyday landscape.
