ATTRIBUTED TO ARCHIBALD ROBERTSON. Collect Pond, New York City

Collect Pond, New York City. Artist: Attributed to Archibald Robertson (American, Moneymusk, Scotland 1765-1835 New York). Dimensions: 17 3/4 x 23 1/16 in. (45.1 x 58.6 cm). Former Attribution: Formerly attributed to Alexander Robertson (1772-1841). Date: 1798.
The natural pool Collect Pond was formerly located in lower Manhattan near present-day Foley Square. Robertson's watercolor of the site exemplifies the formulaic method of drawing taught at the Columbian Academy of Painting in New York City, founded by the artist and his brother Alexander. Both the hill at left and the willow tree at right are rendered in highly stylized fashion, with broad contours and schematic curving lines. Spatial depth was achieved with swaths of dark wash in the foreground setting of the lighter forms in the distance. Indeed, the whole picture observes a kind of artistic etiquette embodied in the polite company of figures in the foreground.

Titre:

Collect Pond, New York City

Légende:

Traduction automatique: Recueillir Pond, New York. Artiste : attribuée à Archibald Robertson (Américain, Moneymusk, Ecosse 1765-1835 New York). Dimensions : 17 3/4 x 23 1/16 in. (45,1 x 58,6 cm). Ancienne Attribution : Autrefois attribuée à Alexander Robertson (1772-1841). Date : 1798. La piscine naturelle Collect Pond était autrefois située dans le bas de Manhattan, près de l'actuel Foley Square. L'aquarelle de Robertson du site illustre la méthode de dessin formulée enseignée à la Columbian Academy of Painting de New York, fondée par l'artiste et son frère Alexander. La colline à gauche et le saule à droite sont rendus de manière très stylisée, avec de larges contours et des lignes courbes schématiques. La profondeur spatiale a été obtenue avec des bandes de lavis sombres au premier plan des formes plus claires au loin. En effet, l'ensemble du tableau observe une sorte d'étiquette artistique incarnée dans la compagnie polie des personnages au premier plan.
