WILLIAM LOCK (ATTRIBUTED TO)
(Norbury 1767-1847 Rome)
A Classical Battle Scene.

Pen and brown ink on cream laid paper, 1782. 315x530 mm; 121/2x201/2 inches. Dated "Jan'y 1782" in ink, lower right recto.

Though he never exhibited and is seen mainly as a gifted amateur artist, Lock was friends and trained with John Henry Fuseli (1741-1825), whose influence is manifest in this early drawing.
