About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Minster House and Bristol Cathedral circa 1833 by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.5 inches (height) x 2.25 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This historical watercolour by Jack Grunwell captures Minster House in front of the iconic Bristol Cathedral, dated circa 1833 in the artist’s note. Set against a soft, pale sky, the delicate architectural details of the Gothic cathedral tower contrast beautifully with the simpler stonework of the house in the foreground. The inclusion of robed figures and a period-style iron fence adds to the sense of 19th-century atmosphere and storytelling. Located in the heart of Bristol, Bristol Cathedral is known for its rare hall church design and Norman beginnings. Minster House, once part of the cathedral close, contributes to the rich ecclesiastical heritage of the area. This piece is ideal for collectors interested in English history, church architecture, or scenes of Bristol's evolving urban landscape. Grunwell’s eye for historical detail and soft handling of watercolour make this a charming and collectible piece of British topographical art.
