The artwork named “Reverend Thomas Guthrie” was created by the artist George Harvey in the year 1855. As a part of the Romanticism movement, this artwork belongs to the genre of sketches and studies, capturing a moment with a realistic and emotionally evocative representation.
In the artwork, three figures are depicted in a small wooden boat, with one figure standing and two seated. The central standing figure appears to be holding an object, possibly a scroll or a book, and exuding a distinguished manner, suggestive of Reverend Thomas Guthrie. The seated man holds oars, evidently rowing, while another seated figure, a woman, is positioned at the prow of the boat with a dog beside her. The background is sparse and unclear, emphasizing the figures and their actions within the boat. The colors are subdued and earthy, characteristic of sketches and studies within the Romanticism style, allowing for a focus on form and expression.
