About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Temple Church and Shakespeare Inn in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.5 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 charming watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures a historic view of Bristol, featuring the Shakespeare Inn and Temple Church, a landmark known for its leaning tower—a striking feature caused by war damage and the shifting ground beneath the structure. The half-timbered façade of the Shakespeare Inn stands out among a row of bustling shops, evoking an era when this part of Bristol was a hub of commerce and local gathering. The soft washes of watercolor give the scene an atmospheric, nostalgic feel, while the presence of horse-drawn carts, well-dressed pedestrians, and detailed shopfronts brings history to life. Key Features: Historic Landmark: Depicts the Temple Church, known for its leaning tower, and the Shakespeare Inn in Bristol. Charming Street Scene: Captures the everyday bustle of Bristol’s past with figures, horses, and shopfronts. Rich in Local Heritage: A glimpse into the city's architectural past before many of these buildings were lost to time. Delicate Watercolor Detail: Grunwell’s soft yet precise brushwork enhances the historic charm of the composition. This evocative artwork is ideal for those who appreciate Bristol’s rich history, architectural studies, or traditional British street scenes.

"Andes Mountains Peru South America, " Joseph Yoakum, Black Folk Art Landscape
By Joseph Yoakum
Located in New York, NY
Joseph Yoakum Andes Mountains Peru So America, circa 1960s Colored pencil and ballpoint pen on paper 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches Provenance: Karen Lennox Gallery, Chicago Private Collection, South Dakota Yoakum began drawing in the early 1960s. Most of his work consists of radiantly colored landscapes with mountains, water, trees, and winding roads in abstract and complex configurations. his period of greatest activity — 1965 to 1970 — when he usually made one drawing a day. Yoakum maintained he had seen all the places represented in his drawings, a statement that may not be true in some instances. He traveled a great deal, beginning in his early teens when he ran away from home and became a circus handyman. Yoakum’s drawings can be considered memory images growing out of either actual or imagined experiences. All of his drawings have titles that grew longer and more specific over the years. He dated his works with a rubber stamp — an oddly impersonal, labor-saving device. Although Joseph Yoakum gave vastly different accounts of his background, he was, throughout his life, classified as an African American. Sometimes Yoakum claimed that he was a full-blooded ​“Nava-joe” Indian, one of twelve or thirteen children born to a farmer on an Indian reservation in Window Rock, Arizona. At other times he insisted that he was of African-American descent. He described his mother as a strong woman who was a doctor and knowledgeable in the use of herbal medicines. Yoakum’s family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, during his early childhood. His father was employed briefly in the railroad yards prior to settling permanently on a farm in nearby Walnut Grove...
