Here is a wonderfully atmospheric watercolour painting by the notable English artist Charles James Adams, of a Shepherd droving his sheep across the moors. Broom and Gorse cover the hillside, and the horizon melts into a purple haze under a big sky with white billowing clouds.
A highly accomplished artist, Adams was born in Gravesend in Kent in 1851, and went on to study at the Leicester School of Art.
He has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, The Royal Hibernian Academy, The Royal Society of Oil Painters, The Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists as well as having works exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Manchester City Art Gallery.
The watercolour is signed to the bottom left, and presented mounted and framed behind glass measuring 54cm by 41cm, the image itself 34cm by 21cm.
Adams artwork is highly collectable, and has been sold by the UK''s most prestigious a
...uction houses.
The painting is in good condition with the colours as bright and vibrant as the day they were painted - there is some light foxing to the sky area, so please have a look at this in the photographs.
Please don''t hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information or photographs.
