William Turner Dannat

1853–1929 · Realism · 1 work

William Turner Dannat’s study for An Aragonese Smuggler explores a figure later developed into a larger painting of a boy taking a drink. The Art Institute describes the loose brushwork of this preparatory image. Look at which features are brought into focus and which remain quickly indicated, allowing the study to reveal a painting in development.
