Description:
This beautifully detailed watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the historic Christmas Steps in Bristol, one of the city’s most iconic medieval streets. Originally built in the 17th century and later "stopped" in 1669 by merchant Jonathan Blackwell, the steeply inclined stone staircase is lined with Tudor-style timber-framed buildings, Georgian facades, and historic shopfronts, making it one of the most atmospheric locations in Bristol’s Old City.
The painting beautifully conveys the lively charm of Christmas Steps, with figures dressed in period attire, bustling shops, and the soft glow of lanterns. The composition captures the historic Three Sugar Loaves pub, a well-known establishment along the route, adding to the authenticity and character of the scene.
