Lot Essay

Nash trained as an architectural draughtsman with Thomas Malton the younger (1748-1804), and for several years was employed by architects and engravers. In 1819 he began working on a series of drawings of Paris which marked a change in style - being looser and more lively. These were published in 1823 as Picturesque views of the city of Paris and its environs, and the original drawings were sold to Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) for £250.
