The River Teign, South Devon
‘The River Teign, South Devon’ Frederick Richard Lee, mid-nineteenth century. This oil on card landscape depicts a section of the River Teign which runs to the east of Dartmoor. The work is dominated by the rocky hill/moor centre and right. In the foreground large boulders sit amid water of the river. There are trees along the river banks on either side. This scene is highly reminiscent of sections of the Teign Valley near Castle Drogo, built in the early twentieth century. Frederick Lee was an English artist, local to the Devon area, who primarily focused on rural landscape scenes.
