Jacob George Strutt (1784-1867) was a landscape painter and etcher. Strutt’s early training was in portraiture, but he also excelled in forest scenery. He is best known for Sylva Britannica and a separate book of romantic scenery in Great Britain, Deliciae Sylvarum. Later in Strutt’s artistic career, he concentrated on landscapes of the Italian countryside. As a result of this sketch, Strutt made an etching in 1843 titled “Pine in the Colonna gardens, Rome”
