Description

This charming late 19th-century watercolour by British artist E Wood depicts a beautiful 15th/16th century farmhouse near Godalming in Surrey, England.

As chickens rummage for food amid the verdant grass, sunlight illuminates the splendid timber-framed form of a substantial historic farmhouse. A stone wall attached to a wooden porch leads to a five-bar gate. A local, perhaps a farmer, leans to open it.

The artist E Wood is surprisingly not mentioned in the various directories despite their evident skill. The quality of the draughtsmanship is particularly reminiscent of Helen Allingham RWS (1848-1926) who is well admired for her depictions of picturesque buildings in Surrey. It’s likely the two crossed paths.

Signed in the lower right and held within a later frame. Glazed.

Medium: Watercolour on paper

Overall size: 18½” x 14½” / 47cm x 37cm

Year of creation: c. 1880

Labels & Inscriptions: Inscribed with title on reverse (under frame).

Provenance: Private collection, England.

Condition: Assessed and approved by our conservator. Frame with various scuffs and abrasions.

Our reference: BRV1799

Date of Manufacture

Brave Fine Art has dated this Antique Landscape Watercolour Painting to the 1880s.

FAQs

Landscape watercolour painting became a distinct British art form during the 18th and 19th centuries, championed by artists who captured the changing light and topographical details of the countryside.

Authentic period watercolours were typically created using ground pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder applied to handmade rag paper or wove paper, then housed behind glass within gilt wood frames.

Authentication involves examining the paper texture for watermarks, inspecting the pigments for age-related fading, and checking the framing components, mount board, and backing materials for period-appropriate aging.

Pairing a traditional framed artwork with modern minimalist walls creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the historic narrative and craftsmanship to become a focal point within the room.

Antique watercolours must be displayed away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent paper degradation and pigment fading, ideally using UV-protective glazing.
