Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1870s.
De Poix was a gentleman artist descended from French nobility.
For a number of years he exhibited at the wonderfully named ‘Woodpecker Sketch Club’, which later became the Worcester City and County Fine Arts Association.
Here, he’s added a further dimension by heightening the figures in white, which draws the eye. The pub is also rendered particularly well. Perhaps the unsteady, propped-up nature of the signpost reminds us of those leaving the establishment.
Glazed and framed.

Overall size: 22½” x 19” / 57cm x 48cm
Year of creation: c. 1870
