About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brislington Village circa 1800 Kings Arms by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 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 warm and nostalgic watercolour by Jack Grunwell depicts Brislington Village around 1800, focusing on the Kings Arms Inn and the local smithy. The painting beautifully captures daily village life, with a horse being tended, figures chatting outside the inn, and townspeople going about their day, all set beneath the tower of St Luke’s Church nestled in the background. Once a rural Somerset village, Brislington is now a suburb of Bristol, but in the early 19th century it retained its quaint charm, with coaching inns and blacksmiths playing a vital role in community life. The Kings Arms, still in operation today, was a central meeting point for villagers and travellers alike. Grunwell’s use of earthy tones and his attention to architectural and social detail make this piece a delightful record of English village heritage. Perfect for collectors of rural English scenes, historical village life, or those with ties to Bristol and its surrounding areas, this piece offers both charm and historical interest.
