Title: Historic Maritime Miniature Watercolor of SS Great Britain 1843
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 2.25 inches (height) x 3.75 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
This striking watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the SS Great Britain, one of the most significant ships in maritime history. Designed by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the SS Great Britain was launched in 1843 and was the world’s first iron-hulled, screw-propelled ocean liner, revolutionizing shipbuilding and transatlantic travel.
Grunwell’s painting beautifully showcases the majestic ship at sea, its masts towering above deck with sails billowing, while black smoke rises from its funnel, symbolizing the transition between sail and steam power. The fine detailing of the rigging, flags fluttering in the wind, and the soft play of light on the waves create a dynamic yet nostalgic representation of this historic vessel.
This piece is an excellent choice for collectors of maritime history, naval art, and Brunel’s engineering legacy, offering a timeless depiction of one of Britain’s greatest nautical achievements.

"Andes Mountains Peru South America, " Joseph Yoakum, Black Folk Art Landscape

Yoakum began drawing in the early 1960s. Most of his work consists of radiantly colored landscapes with mountains, water, trees, and winding roads in abstract and complex configurations. his period of greatest activity — 1965 to 1970 — when he usually made one drawing a day.
Yoakum maintained he had seen all the places represented in his drawings, a statement that may not be true in some instances. He traveled a great deal, beginning in his early teens when he ran away from home and became a circus handyman. Yoakum’s drawings can be considered memory images growing out of either actual or imagined experiences. All of his drawings have titles that grew longer and more specific over the years. He dated his works with a rubber stamp — an oddly impersonal, labor-saving device.
Although Joseph Yoakum gave vastly different accounts of his background, he was, throughout his life, classified as an African American. Sometimes Yoakum claimed that he was a full-blooded “Nava-joe” Indian, one of twelve or thirteen children born to a farmer on an Indian reservation in Window Rock, Arizona. At other times he insisted that he was of African-American descent. He described his mother as a strong woman who was a doctor and knowledgeable in the use of herbal medicines. Yoakum’s family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, during his early childhood. His father was employed briefly in the railroad yards prior to settling permanently on a farm in nearby Walnut Grove...
