David Hall Mckewan RI (1816-1872) - Mid 19th Century Watercolour Stone Cottage
Description
A delicate 19th century watercolour by the listed British artist David Hall McKewan. The wonderful handling of light and tone gives this composition a fine realist quality. McKewan was known as a painter of some note for his landscapes of rocky scenes and interiors of old mansions. This watercolour is a fine example of McKewan's work and is well presented in a white card mount and white frame with gilt detail. Signed. On wove.Condition
Overall the condition is very good for a picture of this age. With minor discolouration to the sky. It appears some restoration work has taken place at the upper left corner, where inspection under UV light shows some light dots of overpainting. Small marks to the frame.
