About the Item
A striking, unidentified Biblical scene in pencil and watercolour, showing a man with a dagger in his sheath at his side, aggressively approaching an older man who hides his face. A bowl of frankincense burns to the right and in the background an open door reveals a man and woman standing outside. The scene is has much narrative and dynamism and the darkened palette adds an atmosphere of foreboding to the interior scene. The composition of the piece, tall, almost window like shape, is typical of the Art Nouveau era and the artist's style. The artist has initialed to the lower right corner. The artist also signed to the original backing board. This graphite signature has been adhered to the reverse. The watercolour has been handsomely presented in a fine early 20th Century gilt wood slip with card mount. On wove laid to board.

Robert Anning Bell
Born in London, Robert Anning Bell was trained as a painter at the Royal Academy Schools in 1881 and afterward at the Westminster School of Art. He later worked under Aimé Morot in Paris. George Frampton, whom Anning Bell worked under in London, became the leader of the Craft of Sculptors and The Art Workers Guild in 1884. He was largely responsible for encouraging artists to expand the variety of their materials and techniques. Anning Bell became a master of the Art Worker's Guild and, in addition to his paintings, made polychrome plaster relief images in the Arts and Crafts style. It was Robert Anning Bell who designed mosaics for the Houses of Parliament and also Westminster Cathedral.
