About the Item

Wonderful Scottish 19th century Highland landscape, with a figure and cattle on a pathway overlooking a Loch This piece is signed lower right and is framed in a Vintage Gold Leaf frame. Percy was a landscape painter. Although he was a member of the Williams family (Boddington, Gilbert, and Adams), he used the name Percy to distinguish himself from them. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1842–1886, at the British Institution, and the Royal Society of British Artists. He painted in Devon, Yorkshire, the Lake District, and Skye, but mostly in Northern Wales. His studio sale was held at Christie’s on November 27, 1886.

  • Antique 19th century English Victorian Waterfall scene landscape
    By John Brandon Smith
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    John Brandon Smith, John Brandon Smith is an English landscape artist of some renown. He concentrated on the waterways of England, Scotland and Wales. He was particularly interested in the effects of cascading water. This led to his being given the moniker 'Waterfall Smith'. He was fascinated by the spectacle of rivers in spate. Many of his paintings concentrated on the rivers Conway, Llugwy and Lledr in North Wales but he also painted the rivers of England and Scotland. Some of his more celebrated works show The Swallow Falls and Aysgarth Falls in North Yorkshire. He used many shades of green and blue on his small, jewel-like canvases. He would occasionally introduce the figure of a fisherman to provide perspective. His themes are characteristic of the Renaissance of the European Romantic Movement. He exhibited twenty-two works at The Royal Academy between 1860 and 1874. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street. This is a very rare large example of the painters work. It is framed in an Antique English frame
