About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal and Coopers Hall in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.75 inches (height) x 3.75 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This elegant watercolour by Jack Grunwell depicts the Theatre Royal and Coopers' Hall in Bristol, shown as it would have appeared around 1780. The bustling foreground, filled with townsfolk, horses, and figures in period attire, brings the Georgian-era street scene to life, while the classical façade of Coopers' Hall stands prominently beside the Theatre Royal, now recognised as the oldest continually operating theatre in the English-speaking world. Built in 1766, the Theatre Royal is a cornerstone of Bristol’s cultural history and home to the renowned Bristol Old Vic. Coopers’ Hall, an adjoining 18th-century building originally used by the wine and brandy merchants’ guild, adds further architectural distinction with its Corinthian columns and pedimented front. A must-have for collectors of Georgian architecture, British theatrical history, or historic views of Bristol, this piece offers both charm and cultural significance through its intricate detailing and historical storytelling.
