Liber Studiorum; Frontispiece, View of a Garden House on the Banks of the River Yare

John Sell Cotman

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a black and white illustration of a house on the edge of a body of water. The house has a square base with a small window and a door, and a conical roof with a spire on top. A small bridge connects the house to the land on the right side. A person sits on a rock in the foreground by the water's edge. A lion statue sits on a ledge to the left of the house. Two stone columns are on the ledge, one with a striped pattern. Trees are behind the house and bridge. Text at the bottom reads "LIBER STUDIORUM" and "Sketches and Studies by J.S.Cotman".
