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

During this period, artists moved away from Victorian sentimentality toward more direct, atmospheric captures of the British countryside, often employing fluid washes, muted palettes, and simplified forms influenced by Impressionism.

Artists typically painted using water-soluble pigments ground with gum arabic on heavy cotton rag paper, allowing for rapid application and transparent layering of colour.

Authentic works often feature legible artist signatures, dates, subtle paper ageing or foxing, and distinct evidence of brushstrokes and transparent layering rather than dot-matrix printing.

A muted watercolour landscape can be framed in a minimalist dark wood or thin gilt frame to anchor a neutral scheme, pairing well with contemporary stone, linen, and timber accents.

To prevent fading and deterioration, watercolours must be framed behind UV-protective glass with acid-free mounting materials and displayed away from direct sunlight and humid environments.
