This original c.1827 watercolour by the early 19th Century artist Sophia Stansbury depicts a young boy dressed in Classical attire, shown with two cats. Depicted in front of a classical column base, the boy stands near a garden, with flowering fruit trees to the right.
Finely presented in a cream card mount and simple gilt wooden frame. While this work is not signed, we have a small collection of Stansbury's work and this is undoubtedly by her hand.
On wove.In remarkably fine condition for a picture of this age. Some light debris behind the glazing, and very minor scuffing to the frame.

Sophia Stansbury was an early 19th Century watercolourist with a remarkably dynamic approach to form and palette, far ahead of the prevalent styles of the period.
Her highly illustrative naive style, and almost theatrical settings have retained almost all of their colour, owing to exemplary storage conditions for the last two centuries. Her work includes classical studies, portrait scenes, and English landscapes.
