Description
Study for "The Peep-O?-Day Boys? Cabin, in the West of Ireland" ("The Sleeping Whiteboy"), 1835. One of the greatest draftsmen of the British school, Wilkie painted slowly but drew prolifically, making studies upon which he relied to spur his imagination and compose his paintings. In this study for a painting exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1836, the artist worked out the details of a domestic interior. Here he depicted the corner of a cabin in Ireland where wool was processed: a pair of carders used to disentangle textile fibers and a spinning wheel rest upon a rough-hewn bench, and a swath of hand-dyed red cloth is flung over a ladder rung. Creator Franz Anton Maulbertsch (Austrian, 1724-1796), attributed to. (Photo by Heritage Arts/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
