About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of King Street and Llandoger Trow in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.25 inches (height) x 3.5 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This charming double-scene watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures two of Bristol’s most historic buildings: Sailors’ Almshouses on King Street and the famous Llandoger Trow Inn. The artist’s delicate brushwork and muted color palette bring these quintessentially British landmarks to life, offering a glimpse into Bristol’s rich maritime and architectural history. Key Features: Sailors’ Almshouses, King Street – Built in 1702, these almshouses were established to provide housing for retired sailors. The painting beautifully captures the symmetrical stone cottages, black wrought-iron fencing, and quiet figures in conversation, evoking a sense of historical community life. Llandoger Trow Inn – One of Bristol’s most famous Tudor buildings, the Llandoger Trow dates back to 1664 and is steeped in maritime lore. It is believed to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure Island", adding to its legendary status. Maritime Heritage: The sailing masts in the background of the Llandoger Trow scene highlight Bristol’s long-standing connection to the sea and trade. Tudor and Georgian Architectural Contrast: This piece uniquely juxtaposes two different architectural styles, showcasing the evolution of Bristol’s urban landscape. Lively Street Atmosphere: Both scenes feature historic figures, horse-drawn transport, and everyday life, adding depth and movement to the composition. This two-in-one historical watercolor is an excellent choice for collectors of British heritage, maritime history, and Bristol cityscapes. A perfect addition to any art collection that celebrates old-world charm, storytelling, and architectural beauty.
