Beschreibung:

John Ruskin H.R.W.S., (1819-1900) Bellinzona, Switzerland, looking north towards the St. Gotthard pass with inscription 'Sketch - John Ruskin /Given to Rev'd Moore on his leaving Camberwell 1866 by J. Ruskin.' (on an old label attached to the back of the frame) pencil, watercolour and bodycolour, on light blue tinted paper 20½ x 14 in. (52 x 35.5 cm.) and a letter from Ruskin to Reverend Moore '22 n d oct. 1866./Dear Mr Moore/I have made no drawings at/any time but for notes of fact: more for/pleasure of sketching- so that I have had/great difficulty in finding one that seemed/the least fit for presentation to you. Nor/can I ever conceive any one taking any/pleasure in my imperfect work. However/the sketch I send looks pretty well at/a distance, and it is of an interesting scene/enough, in its way. the little rocky garden/& the view of village near Bellinzona/- which being much too steep for the old priest to trouble himself by walking- much/less working in - had near perished by drought when I sketched it- though a/mountain stream dashed by only a hundred/yards below.- from which- when I was tired/of drawing, my quick hand brought/up sundry bucketsfull of snow water/to the poor garden- much to its/refreshment- and the villagers' astonishment/and our own piece of mind- for that afternoon./The valley in the distance is the/ascent (crossed through) access to the pass of the St Gothard.- you are looking north./This sketch belonged to my mother/but she likes you to have it. and so do I,/if you like it. I wish the fig leaves/had stalks to them- (or stitches together/at any rate)- but I got tired at the time of the tailoring, and I can't/do it now rightly,/Ever affectionately Yours/J Ruskin/The Rev'.D Moore.
