  • Claude Muncaster South Cerney Gloucestershire The Old George Inn Watercolour
    By Claude Muncaster
    Located in London, GB
    We acquired a series of paintings from Claude Muncaster's studio. To find more scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this seller."
