Snaffles ‘Impressions of the Past Season’ Original Watercolour

1900 - 1920
Description

Charlie Johnson Payne, Snaffles (British, 1884-1967)

‘Impressions of The Past Season’, circa 1907, titled ‘Impressions of The Past Season’ in pencil, pencil, black ink and watercolour, in the original gilt slip mount and oak frame

Dimensions: 36 x 26cm (excluding mount and frame) 42 x 32cm overall x 2.5cm

Provenance: Private Collection, UK.

This is a rare early original watercolour; it has many similarities to the known work ‘The Cavalry Point to Point, Hawthorn Hill ‘07’ painted by Snaffles for Captain Jardine. These works very much display the artist’s early style; he was 23 years old. In the year of 1907, Snaffles painted a number of works for the magazine, The Bystander, including ‘Impressions of the First Cavalry Brigade - Polo at Aldershot’.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Edwardian equestrian art frequently depicts British fox hunting and horse racing with lighthearted humour, draftsmanship, and social satire. Artists such as Snaffles captured the atmosphere and attire of the hunting field using pencil, gouache, and watercolour techniques.

Artists typically worked on tinted paper or card, combining watercolour wash, bodycolour, and graphite or charcoal pencil work. Framing usually featured stained oak or mahogany mouldings, often enhanced with metallic or gilt sight lines.

Original pieces display distinct graphite guidelines, varied paint thickness, and pencil notes rather than halftone dot patterns visible under magnification. Hand-written annotations, direct paint absorption into paper fibers, and artist signatures further distinguish originals from commercial reproductions.

Position the artwork as part of a gallery wall in a hallway or study, or display it above a classic sideboard or fireplace. Pairing dark wood frames against muted walls or deep heritage tones highlights the graphic pencil and colour accents.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and damp exterior walls to prevent fading and foxing. Ensure the picture is mounted behind UV-filtering glass using acid-free mounting materials.
