Strickland & Russell has dated this Georgian Watercolour Landscape Painting to the 18th Century.
Surface: Antique Whatman Laid Paper
Artist and signature: Attributed to Edward Dayes (1763–1804)
The work is executed in pen and ink with subtle wash, showing confident foliage work, strong recession of tone, and classical staffage figures — all characteristics associated with late 18th-century British picturesque draughtsmanship.
The reverse bears an old attribution to Edward Dayes, a noted British landscape artist of the Romantic period whose work influenced later figures including Turner. While the attribution cannot be guaranteed, the style, subject, period materials, and J Whatman paper are entirely consistent with Dayes or his immediate circle.
