Watercolour by E H Holder

A watercolour by E. H. Holder of an English Landscape, wooded with a river and stone bridge and winding coutry lane. The male and female figure to the foreground are representative of Mary and Joseph on the flight to Egypt, it was a typical artistic technique to translate scenes from the biblical lands to an English pastoral idiom. The colours are as bright and fresh as the day the work was done, which is unusual for a piece of this age, and the relatively new framing, means it has probably been out of the light for much of this time. There is an inscription on the board to the back which reads:

'E.H. Holder of Scarborough c.1840-1922, friend of.....tutor of Robert Lathson of Huggate, moved to Reigate in 1870. 'the flight to Egypt' Mary and Joseph.'
