Cornish Landscape no. 1
Donald Shaw MacLaughlan captured the rugged beauty of Cornwall in this 1913 sketch, using scratchy, energetic lines to map out the rolling hills and bare winter trees. The scene feels quiet and windswept, with the intricate hatching giving texture to the fields and hedgerows. It's a fascinating glimpse into his early career, showing the European influences that shaped his later famous Canadian landscapes. You can almost feel the chill in the air just looking at those leafless branches!
