| biography:
| Painter, born in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, C England, UK, the brother of Thomas Sandby. He has been called the father of the watercolour school. His career began as a draughtsman, but later, living at Windsor with his brother, he made many drawings of Windsor and Eton. His watercolours, outlined with the pen and only finished with colour, take the purely monochrome drawing of this school one step forward. He was an original member of the Royal Academy. |
