Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brislington Village Smithy and Kings Arms Inn
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3.5 inches (height) x 3 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
In this charming watercolour, Jack Grunwell presents a lively historic scene from Brislington Village, featuring the Kings Arms Inn and the village smithy at the heart of community life. The composition includes working horses, local figures in conversation, and the tower of St Luke’s Church rising above the treetops, anchoring the painting firmly in its Somerset setting.
Once a rural village on the outskirts of Bristol, Brislington was known for its quiet lanes, cottages, and working trades like blacksmithing—essential to daily life in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Kings Arms, a prominent coaching inn, still serves the area today. Grunwell captures not only the architecture but also the atmosphere of a time when the smithy was a bustling social and practical hub.
Perfect for collectors of British village scenes, historical trades, or West Country heritage, this piece offers a wonderful snapshot of traditional English life in a bygone era.

Muncaster's watercolours capture the English countryside feel with great competence. Here, the Old George Inn (which still exists, though in less splendid isolation) is captured charmingly.

At the age of fifteen his career as a landscape painter began, and he soon took to the seas, spending the 1920s and 30s travelling the world with his sketchbook in a series of vessels. With the outbreak of war and he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at fifteen his mathematics was very weak and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camofleur. A master of capturing seascapes he was therefore able to hide huge ships ‘in plain sight’ with clever disguises. After the war he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham.
