About the Item
Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Portcullis Inn Pub Scene
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3 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 quaint watercolour by Jack Grunwell features the Portcullis Inn, a traditional British pub building rendered in warm, muted tones. With its symmetrical Georgian façade, wrought-iron railings, and red hanging pub sign, the painting captures the classic charm of 18th–19th century British inns.
Pubs like the Portcullis Inn have been central to British social life for centuries, often serving as key community hubs. While the exact location of this inn isn’t specified, the architecture and atmospheric detail suggest it could be one of several historically named Portcullis Inns found throughout the UK, including well-known establishments in Clifton (Bristol), Monmouthshire, and elsewhere.
Grunwell’s signature style—gentle linework, carefully balanced colour, and an eye for architectural nuance—is on full display here. This piece would make an ideal gift for lovers of British pub culture, traditional architecture, or nostalgic town scenes.

"Sunset (Shelter Island) 06.06.2021" watercolor of colorful seascape and sky
By Nelson White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted en plein air.
Frame Dimensions: 9 x 15in
Artist Bio:
Nelson H. White was born in New London, Connecticut in 1932. White has been surrounded by art and artists from the time he was born. He received his earliest art instruction from his grandfather, Henry Cooke White (1861-1952) and his father Nelson Cooke White (1900-1989), both important American artists. The family lived in Waterford, Connecticut and the elder White had been an early member of the art colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Known for his paintings of the Connecticut landscape and shoreline, Henry Cooke White became a teacher to his son, Nelson Cooke White. Living with his parents at the Florence Griswold house in Old Lyme, he met some of the most important and influential artists of the day, Childe Hassam, Will Howe Foote and Harry Hoffman.
Later, Nelson White's father began to take his family to summer on Shelter Island and became friendly with many of the artists of the Peconic colony such as Irving Wiles, an important American impressionist. After graduating from the Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts in 1951, Nelson H. White began to study at Mitchell College in Connecticut but left to pursue studies in the violin, musical theory and composition. At this time, he began to spend more time studying art with his father and grandfather. By 1955, Nelson H. White had decided to devote himself to a career as a painter and traveled to Florence, Italy to become an apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, the world-renowned Florentine master. Within two years, the young White had won two awards for his work. While in Florence he also studied with the great Italian teacher, Nerina Simi. Today, White divides his time between the United States and Florence. White is still actively involved with studies at The Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.
Although he has received instruction from some very important artists, White's work is highly individual. He paints with great spirit...
