How should I hang these watercolours?

Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments from fading over time. Position them on interior walls where temperature and humidity remain stable. Ensure the protective glass does not press directly against the paper surface. Proper framing preserves both the paper support and the delicate washes.

What periods do these portraits cover?

The works span from the eighteenth century through the Georgian and Regency eras, extending into the Victorian period and the early twentieth century. Each era brings distinct clothing styles, framing choices and painting techniques. Nineteenth-century examples dominate the selection, showing diverse British and international artistic traditions.

What is pith paper art?

Pith paper paintings originate from nineteenth-century China and utilise a spongy plant material as the painting surface. The delicate substrate absorbs watercolour and gouache to create luminous figural scenes. These fragile sheets require careful housing behind glass to prevent crumbling or tearing.
