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

Early 20th-century British watercolours are defined by fluid brushwork, atmospheric tonal washes, and a focus on topography, architecture, and rural life, moving away from rigid Victorian detail towards broader, more expressive forms.

Artists used ground watercolour pigments bound with gum arabic applied to heavy cotton rag paper. These papers were often stretched on boards before application to prevent buckling during wash techniques.

Authentic pieces generally display original artist signatures or dates in graphite or paint, natural paper ageing such as light toning, and characteristic period framing techniques with paper backing tape.

A muted architectural watercolour works well framed in a simple dark wood or gilded frame, hung as part of a gallery wall or positioned above traditional case furniture to add historic depth to contemporary spaces.

Watercolours should be displayed away from direct sunlight behind UV-protective glass, mounted using acid-free archival mats, and kept in environment with stable humidity levels to avoid foxing.
