About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Street Scene on the Christmas Steps in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.75 inches (height) x 3.25 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This evocative watercolour by Jack Grunwell beautifully depicts Christmas Steps, one of the most atmospheric and historic streets in Bristol, England. Originally built in the 1600s, this steep, cobbled lane is lined with timber-framed buildings and distinctive shopfronts, giving it a timeless charm that has captivated artists and historians alike. Grunwell’s delicate brushwork captures both the architecture and ambience of the location, with softly muted tones conveying the aged patina of the buildings. The stepped alley rises through the middle of the scene, drawing the viewer’s eye upward, while figures in period dress add a sense of narrative and nostalgia. The church tower rising subtly in the background enhances the vertical rhythm of the piece. Christmas Steps is part of Bristol's Christmas Steps Arts Quarter and remains a popular destination for those interested in antiques, craft, and local history. This painting is a wonderful collector’s item for admirers of Bristol, historic urban scenes, or quaint architectural street views.
