Watercolour Of Prized Cattle By Alfred Mayhew Williams

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Prometheus Antiques

A fine and charming watercolour of prized cattle by Alfred Mayhew Williams 1823-1903. The work shows two prized cattle in a landscape setting. The animals are rather wonderfully named as Lady Wild Eyes and Lady Wild Eyes the third. The quality of the piece is quite exceptionally good with the observation of the cattle just perfect and the attention to detail in the landscape equally as fine. The work is signed and titled to the lower edge and has been obscured by the later mount, although all the details have been included on this mount. The piece is in excellent condition and the relatively modern frame and mount work very well. The artist Alfred Mayhew Williams is not well known although he did exhibit and lived in London, he seems to have been more associated with engraving hence it is most likely this was a commissioned piece by a proud owner. This is a great decorative work with huge amounts of charm and appeal. C.1880.
