This early watercolour depicts the Upper Terrace at Haddon Hall. It is likely that the work was carried out in the 1890s when the artist was studying at Nottingham School of Art and was a frequent visitor to Haddon. The picture contains an embossed ‘E.S.K.’ stamp standing for ‘Examined South Kensington’. Nottingham School of Art was governed by the South Kensington School of Design. The work may have been submitted for consideration for exhibition at the Royal Academy. The linear perspective of the trees on the rights and the masonry balustrade on the left leads the spectator into and along the terrace. The ground surface of the terrace and the lawn have been broken up with sunlight passing between the trees. The architectural detailing of the balustrade and the Hall indicates Knighton-Hammond had a good grasp of illustration which he would have been taught studying under Wilson Forster at Nottingham School of Art. The foliage of the trees is rich in form and colour. This watercolour shows a young artist with considerable talent and was to go onto bigger and better things.
