They convey a sense of liveliness, warmth and camaraderie among the rural folk, set within fully realized landscape backgrounds. The titles are engraved within calligraphic borders beneath each print.<\/p>\n Richard Westall belonged to an English family of painters and illustrators. He became a student at the Royal Academy Schools in 1785, and a full academician in 1794. He exhibited over 300 works there and 70 at the British Institution. Westall was one of the early watercolorists, and for a time gave drawing lessons to Queen Victoria when she was girl. However, he is mainly remembered for his book illustrations, for publishers such as John Boydell, Thomas Macklin and Robert Bowyer.<\/p>\n Product description continues below.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"featured_media":5912,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4222],"product_tag":[42,2806,2798,2802,1533,2653,2801,2796,1512,2804,41,2435,2548,2547,2797,2800,2805,2808,1631,2803,2795,2807,1472,1673,2793,2799,1978,2078,2070,2470,2794],"class_list":{"0":"post-5911","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-archive-sold-art-design","7":"product_tag-19th-century","8":"product_tag-allant","9":"product_tag-berger","10":"product_tag-charmes","11":"product_tag-color","12":"product_tag-dance","13":"product_tag-danse","14":"product_tag-effrayes","15":"product_tag-engraving","16":"product_tag-famille","17":"product_tag-french","18":"product_tag-genre","19":"product_tag-harvest","20":"product_tag-harvesters","21":"product_tag-lorage","22":"product_tag-malheurs","23":"product_tag-meunier","24":"product_tag-mill","25":"product_tag-miller","26":"product_tag-moisson","27":"product_tag-moissonneurs","28":"product_tag-moulin","29":"product_tag-paris","30":"product_tag-print","31":"product_tag-printed","32":"product_tag-racontant","33":"product_tag-richard","34":"product_tag-shepherd","35":"product_tag-stipple","36":"product_tag-village","37":"product_tag-westall","38":"post","39":"post-with-thumbnail","40":"post-with-thumbnail-large","42":"first","43":"instock","44":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16955,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5911\/revisions\/16955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5911"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5911"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
