Historic Miniature Watercolor of Llandoger Trow Inn in Bristol

About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Llandoger Trow Inn in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.75 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: This beautifully detailed watercolor painting by Jack Grunwell captures the historic Llandoger Trow Inn, one of Bristol’s most famous 17th-century buildings. The artist has meticulously depicted the half-timbered Tudor-style façade, bustling street activity, and the inn’s iconic presence in the heart of the city. Key Features: Historic Landmark: Built in 1664, the Llandoger Trow is one of Bristol’s most famous coaching inns and is believed to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure Island". Tudor Architecture: The timber-framed façade with its distinctive gabled roof and latticed windows showcases one of Bristol’s best-preserved examples of historic architecture. Lively Street Scene: The composition is filled with figures dressed in period clothing, horses, carts, and a working street lamp, adding movement and energy to the painting. Maritime History Influence: Situated near the harborside, the inn has strong links to Bristol’s seafaring past, once frequented by sailors and merchants. Rich Color Palette: The warm earth tones and deep timber hues contrast beautifully with the soft sky, creating a timeless and atmospheric portrayal of this iconic building. This charming architectural watercolor is ideal for collectors of historic British pubs, Bristol landmarks, and Tudor architecture. A wonderful addition to any collection celebrating the maritime and architectural history of England.

View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouache
Located in PARIS, FR
Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education. Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home. The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...
