Description

This beautiful late 19th-century watercolour by British artist Lily Bristow (1864-1935) depicts a picturesque autumnal view.

The crunch of Autumn peppers a winding track as windswept trees lean, partially bereft. Golden tones and tinted foliage enlivened with a brilliant sky. The light, bright enough to squint, radiating into a distant haze.

Bristow was a remarkable woman. Determined, fearless and pioneering. Not only did she forge a noteworthy artistic career, exhibiting at the Royal Academy, but also became a record-breaking mountaineer.

This is a fine example of her work. The use of colour, rhythm and expression perfectly capturing her unique and boundless personality.

Signed/dated lower left, framed and glazed.

Medium: Watercolour on paper

Overall size: 19” x 25” / 38cm x 63cm

Year of creation: 1899

Provenance: Private collection, England.

FAQs

An antique watercolour landscape typically features water-soluble pigments applied to paper, capturing natural scenery such as rivers, trees, and fields, often dating from the 18th to early 20th century.

These works were traditionally created using finely ground pigments bound in water-soluble gum, applied to handmade or high-rag content watercolour paper, and protected behind glass within a wood or gilded frame.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the paper texture for age-related toning, inspecting the pigments for period-appropriate composition, and looking for artist signatures, dates, or period framing techniques.

Such pieces can be incorporated into contemporary settings by pairing them with minimalist frames to create contrast, or by grouping them in a gallery wall to add historical depth and texture.

To prevent fading and paper degradation, antique watercolours should be displayed away from direct sunlight, maintained in stable humidity conditions, and framed using conservation-grade, acid-free materials.
