About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal on King Street in Bristol 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 vibrant watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the Theatre Royal on King Street in Bristol, which opened in 1766 and is now the home of the Bristol Old Vic—the oldest continuously operating theatre in the English-speaking world. The composition beautifully presents the historic architecture of the theatre and surrounding buildings, which include 17th and 18th-century facades in warm ochres and timber framing. Grunwell’s painting captures the architectural charm of this iconic street, with the Theatre Royal’s grand classical front standing in elegant contrast to the traditional gabled houses that flank it. The scene is animated with figures on horseback, passersby, and period-dressed pedestrians, offering a rich glimpse into the street’s bustling theatrical and social past. The warm tones and intricate details give this piece a lively and nostalgic quality, making it ideal for collectors drawn to British theatre history, architectural streetscapes, or Bristol’s rich cultural heritage.
