More about this artwork

In this captivating pencil sketch titled 'Boat Building' circa 1799, the artist Thomas Girtin masterfully captures a serene moment in the everyday lives of boat builders. The scene unfolds in a rustic setting, where the skeletal frame of a boat dominates the composition, providing viewers with a glimpse into the early stages of boat construction.Girtin's use of light and subtle detail kindles the imagination, drawing attention to the boat’s intricate framework and the figures that populate the area. These figures, scattered throughout the sketch, appear engaged in various tasks related to the boat's construction, suggesting a communal effort in the boat-building process.The background is softly defined, featuring clouded skies and faintly sketched landscapes that envelop the scene in a serene, almost timeless atmosphere. The sketch not only celebrates the skill and labor involved in boat building but also evokes a sense of calmness and introspection, typical of Girtin's ability to blend the mundane with the profound.

Artist
Thomas Girtin
All Artworks

Thomas Girtin was an English watercolourist and etcher. A friend and rival of J. M. W. Turner, Girtin played a key role in establishing watercolour as a reputable art form.

Thomas Girtin was born in Southwark, London, the son of a wealthy brushmaker of Huguenot descent. His father died while Thomas was a child, and his mother then married a Mr Vaughan, a pattern-draughtsman. Girtin learnt drawing as a boy (attending classes with Thomas Malton), and was apprenticed to Edward Dayes (1763–1804), a topographical watercolourist. He is believed to have served out his seven-year term, although there are unconfirmed reports of clashes between master and apprentice, and even that Dayes had Girtin imprisoned as a refractory apprentice. Certainly Dayes did not appreciate his pupil's talent, and he was to write dismissively of Girtin after his death.
