How do I hang and light them?

Hang these watercolours and oil paintings away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments and paper from fading over time. Standard picture lighting or warm ambient room light will bring out the varied brushwork. Keep them in rooms with stable humidity levels, particularly for works on paper framed behind glass to protect the delicate medium.

How do I tell watercolours from oils?

Watercolours are painted on paper, usually displayed behind glass, showing translucent washes where the white of the paper shines through. They present a lighter, more delicate surface. Oil paintings utilise thicker pigment applied to canvas or wood panels, often displaying visible brush texture and a heavier weight without the need for protective glass.

What periods do these artworks cover?

The available selection spans from the late nineteenth century through the Edwardian era and into the mid-twentieth century, up to nineteen fifty. Most pieces cluster around the early nineteen hundreds. This timeframe captures the evolution of British painting from late Victorian academic traditions towards more expressive impressionist and post-impressionist approaches.
