About the Item
A marvellous original 1780 work by the well-known architect and watercolourist John Carter FSA (1748-1817), depicting the West Front of Dunstable Priory, a 12th Century Augustinian church in Bedfordshire, England. Carter's recognisable passion and skill for the Gothic style shines through in the fine details and tracery of the facade, contrasted grandly with two small gravediggers to the lower left.
Carter travelled widely around the British Isles, commissioned by the Society of Antiquaries to record ancient and monastic buildings. This is likely to be from that body of work.
Signed and dated 'June 1780' to the lower right, and inscribed 'Dunstable' in graphite to the reverse. Presented with a wash border by the artist.
On watermarked laid.
