An original framed watercolour painting by British artist Charles Johnson Payne, known as Snaffles, dating from the early 20th century military period. The artwork depicts Indian cavalry riders on horseback and an early armoured vehicle rendered in sepia brown watercolours, ink, and pencil on paper, complete with handwritten inscriptions and a signature. It is housed behind glass within an original medium-brown moulded oak frame featuring stepped inner border mouldings and a neutral grey card mount. The piece measures 36.5 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a gentleman's library, it hangs well above a mantelpiece to complement traditional interior settings.

FAQs

Charles Johnson Payne, working under the pseudonym Snaffles, specialised in military and equestrian artwork that combined detailed character studies with hand-lettered captions and vignette framing.

Early 20th-century original illustrations were typically created using watercolour, gouache, and pencil on heavy paper, mounted behind glass in timber frames.

Authentic pieces feature the artists distinct signature, handwritten annotations, characteristic equine subject matter, and frequently include embossed blindstamps or remarque vignettes.

Framed military watercolours function well as focal points in a study, hallway, or library setting, paired with traditional dark wood furniture or neutral painted walls.

Watercolour paintings must be displayed out of direct light under UV-protective glass and maintained in a stable, humidity-controlled environment to prevent paper discolouration.
