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.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Pencil inscription lower right: dated 1 April 1921.
Horse-drawn wagons beside early motor lorries: market traffic before full mechanisation.
Even toning across the buff paper: natural mellowing over time.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

  • ObjectOriginal Drawing
  • Period1900 - 1920
  • StyleEarly 20th Century
  • MaterialPaper, Pencil, Ink, Watercolour
  • ColourGrey

  • SizeH 43 cm (17 in) x W 44 cm (17 in) x D 3 cm (1 in)

Early 20th-century architectural sketches focus on structural geometry, spatial depth, and daily urban life, combining precise pencil lines with fluid ink or light watercolour washes.

Artists utilised heavy cotton-rag or wood-pulp paper alongside graphite pencils, carbon or iron gall ink, and diluted watercolour pigments applied with sable or squirrel hair brushes.

Original pieces display visible graphite indents, variable ink thickness, artist signatures, natural paper toning, and physical marks consistent with period paper stocks.

Mount the drawing inside a simple wooden or metallic frame with a generous neutral matboard to complement contemporary gallery walls or minimalist home offices.

Frame paper works using acid-free mounting materials and UV-protective glass, and avoid hanging them in areas exposed to direct sunlight or fluctuating humidity levels.
