Herbert Menzies Marshall Vprws Re Roi – Woodland River Scene with Cottage, Watercolour Signed & Dated 1879

19th century
Description

A serene and finely executed watercolour of a woodland river scene with cottage by Herbert Menzies Marshall VPRWS RE ROI (1841–1913), signed and dated 1879. This early example of Marshall’s work demonstrates his ability to capture the tranquillity of the English countryside, with subtle use of colour and a balanced composition that draws the viewer into the scene.

The painting is presented in a period frame under glass and remains in excellent condition, with only minor discolouration and the possibility of slight fading to the colours, entirely consistent with its age.

Dimensions:

Painting: 39 × 27.5 cm

Frame: 60 × 50 cm

About the Artist – Herbert Menzies Marshall (1841–1913)

Herbert Menzies Marshall was born in Leeds and trained initially as an architect, studying in Paris before turning to painting due to ill health. He exhibited widely, becoming Vice-President of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours and a member of both the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers and the Royal Institute of Painters in Oils. His career included regular exhibitions at major London galleries, and his work was recognised internationally with a silver medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

By 1904, Marshall was Professor of Landscape Painting at Queen’s College, London. His paintings are admired for their accuracy, compositional strength, and the subtle atmosphere he brought to both rural and architectural subjects.
