About the Item

Title: Miniature Watercolor of Avon Gorge with Clifton Suspension Bridge and Ship by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.5 inches (height) x 2.75 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This dynamic watercolour by Jack Grunwell captures a timeless maritime view of Bristol’s Avon Gorge, crowned by the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge. A large rigged sailing vessel, accompanied by a smoking steam tug, makes its way through the winding river as steep cliffs rise dramatically on either side. Completed in 1864, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is one of the most admired feats of 19th-century engineering and a defining symbol of Bristol. It spans the Avon Gorge with a single, graceful sweep, and its reddish stone towers are beautifully depicted here amidst the rugged terrain and lush greenery. Grunwell’s composition pays tribute not only to the power of nature and engineering, but also to Bristol’s maritime past, as a city shaped by its river, trade, and shipbuilding. Ideal for collectors of British industrial heritage, shipping history, or anyone with ties to the Bristol area.
