About Fred Lawson (1888-1968):

A landscape painter. Fred was born at Yeadon, near Leeds. He studied at Dewsbury and Leeds Schools of Art. On a visit to Wensleydale in 1910 with George Graham, they decided to settle there and shared a studio for several years. Fred married the young Muriel Metcalfe of Leyburn in 1933, who was also a painter.

Exhibited at the R.A., R.I. and at numerous exhibitions of Yorkshire artists. Contributed illustrations to The Dalesman from the first issue and for ten years wrote a monthly feature for the magazine. Illustrated several books, including a number by Dorothy Una Ratcliffe.

Travelled in France and Holland, but most of his work depicts the scenery and life of Wensleydale. One of the most fluent and spontaneous water-colourists of his time, he was particularly adept at capturing autumnal tints. A close friend of many Yorkshire artists including Jacob Kramer, Henrietta Lister and George Jackson. His daughter Sonia Lawson is also a painter of high repute.

A retrospective exhibition was held in Middlesbrough Art Gallery in 1969. He was the founder and leading member of the Castle Bolton group of artists. Died in Castle Bolton, Redmire, where he had lived for nearly sixty years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Twentieth-century British landscape and architectural ink drawings are defined by direct draughtsmanship, cross-hatching to define shadow, and swift line-work executed outdoors. Artists of this era often documented regional heritage, castles, and rural vistas using india ink or fountain pen techniques.

Artists traditionally employed steel nib dip pens, fountain pens, or fine brushes combined with black or sepia carbon-based inks on heavy rag paper or watercolour boards to create durable line illustrations.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting the artists signature and date, examining paper age and watermark under light, and verifying ink oxidation alongside continuous line flow rather than printed dot matrices.

Display the framed drawing within a gallery wall arrangement alongside charcoal studies, or mount it individually with a wide mat board above a wooden console table to balance traditional line work with contemporary decor.

Keep works on paper framed behind UV-filtering glass using acid-free, conservation-grade mounting tape and matting. Position the artwork away from direct sunlight, radiators, and rooms with fluctuating humidity levels.
