H. Medlycott – The Houses of Parliament from the Thames, Original Watercolour, Dated 1895

19th century
Description

A charming late Victorian watercolour by H. Medlycott, depicting the Houses of Parliament and the River Thames in 1895.

The atmospheric composition captures the bustling river in the late 19th century, with sailing barges, a steam tug and riverside buildings set against the imposing Gothic architecture of the Palace of Westminster and Victoria Tower.

Painted in a delicate palette of warm ochres, soft greys and muted blues, with particularly attractive detailing to the boats and their reflections in the water.

Signed H. Medlycott and dated 1895 to the lower left.

Presented in a substantial giltwood frame, retaining the original trade label of Charles D. Sharp, picture frame maker and artists' colourman of 1 Sussex Villas, Kensington, London, to the reverse.

A decorative and evocative view of Victorian London, appealing to collectors of London topographical and maritime watercolours.

FAQs

Late Victorian watercolour landscapes typically feature atmospheric washes, detailed architectural depicting of urban or maritime scenes, and realistic light effects captured on paper.

These artworks were executed using water-soluble pigments on heavy paper, mounted within carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf or metallic pigments.

Authenticity is established through artist signatures, dates, natural paper oxidation, period framing construction, and documented artistic provenance.

Framed historical landscapes integrate into contemporary spaces when hung above console tables, featured in gallery walls, or paired with structured wooden furniture.

To prevent deterioration, display watercolours away from direct sunlight, use UV-protective glass, maintain stable humidity levels, and ensure acid-free mounting materials are used.
