Are landscape oils more common than watercolours?

Yes. Oil outnumbers watercolour roughly two to one across the titles, so works on paper are the smaller half of the field. Gouache, pastel and mixed media appear occasionally alongside them.

Which places turn up most often in the titles?

Yorkshire is far and away the most named county, in 328 titles, ahead of "british" at 177 and "scottish" at 162. Villages, dales and rivers get named individually: Wharfedale, Betws-y-Coed, Patterdale, Whitby. Water is the steady motif. River appears in 474 titles, lake in 157 and bridge in 101, comfortably outnumbering castle and cottage.

How old are most of these paintings?

The dated field runs from 1700 to 1960, with 2,690 listings carrying a clean year. The single largest bucket is a broad "19th Century" label rather than a specific date. Decades from the 1880s through to the 1960s are represented fairly evenly. Eighteenth-century and earlier pictures appear, but only occasionally.

Do landscape paintings come in pairs?

Pairs are a genuine sub-habit: 131 titles say pair, and sets turn up too. The samples include a set of four Neapolitan gouaches, a set of six river landscapes and a portfolio of nine watercolours sold together.

What does "circle of" mean on a landscape listing?

It means the picture is by an unidentified hand working close to, or under the influence of, a named artist. It is not a claim that the named artist painted it. It sits on a ladder of attribution wording. Style of and Manner of are the loosest, then Follower of and Circle of, then Attributed to, with a plain signed name at the top.

Are all these views British?

No. British topography is the clear majority, but a steady minority looks abroad, with french in 150 titles and dutch in 79. Italian, Venetian, Danish, German, Belgian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swiss subjects all appear in the samples. At the very top of the range the subjects leave Britain altogether.
