About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal Bristol Founded 1776 by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 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 captivating watercolour by Jack Grunwell portrays the Theatre Royal in Bristol, a Grade I listed building and the oldest continually operating theatre in the English-speaking world. Founded in 1776, the Theatre Royal has long been a cultural landmark in the city, now home to the renowned Bristol Old Vic. Grunwell captures the building’s distinctive Georgian façade, complete with classical pilasters, sash windows, and a grand triangular pediment. The surrounding architecture and figures dressed in period attire bring the bustling 18th–19th century street scene to life. The contrasting yellow and timber-framed buildings to the left hint at Bristol’s rich architectural layering, while the presence of riders on horseback and townsfolk enhances the historical narrative. This painting is a charming and evocative tribute to Bristol’s theatrical legacy and would appeal to collectors of architectural scenes, theatre history, or those with a connection to Bristol’s cultural life.
