A delightful watercolour painting by the artist Walter Burroughs-Fowler RBA (1860-1930), depicting figures walking through arable fields near Irun. Also pictured in the distance is a glimpse of the Fuenterrabía. A Spanish town on the west shore of the Bidasoa estuary. The watercolour has been signed by the artist to the lower left. Well-presented in an ornate gilt and swept frame with corner and centre mouldings. Labelled verso.
On paper.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is a small loss to the contemporary frame in the upper left corner.

John Burroughs Fowler (1860-1930) was a painter born in Walworth, London. He was the son of an auctioneer into whose business he first ventured. His surname is listed as Burroughs-Fowler (with a hyphen) by Johnson & Greutzner but government birth records and census list his surname as Fowler. Perhaps this was an affectation!
Details of his art education are not known but he did exhibit at the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Royal Academy of Arts, Walker's Gallery and at the Royal Society of British Artists which elected him a member in 1912. He was a member of the London Sketch Club and lived variously in Chesham and London before his death in 1930.
