Set of Five Miniature Watercolors of Historic Timber-Framed Inns in Bristol

About the Item

Title: Set of Five Miniature Watercolors of Historic Timber-Framed Inns in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements (each): Approx. between: 2.25 inches (height) x 4 inches (width) and 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 characterful set of five miniature watercolors by Jack Grunwell captures some of Bristol’s most iconic timber-framed buildings and historic inns, rendered in his distinctive period style. These locations reflect the city’s Tudor and early modern architecture, full of charm and rich in local lore. Old Market, Bristol – A picturesque view of half-timbered merchant buildings in the Old Market area, a bustling historic trading hub once located just outside the medieval city walls. The Hatchet Inn (16th Century) – Bristol’s oldest surviving pub, dating back to circa 1606. Steeped in folklore and once frequented by sailors and dockworkers, this inn remains a treasured part of the city’s pub heritage. 3–5. Unlabelled but historically inspired street scenes – These three pieces depict similar timber-framed façades and bustling scenes, likely influenced by buildings such as the Shakespeare Tavern on Prince Street or the Llandoger Trow Inn. Grunwell’s attention to period costume, signage, and transport (including horse-drawn carts) brings these vignettes vividly to life. This is an ideal set for collectors of vernacular architecture, British pub history, or anyone with a connection to Bristol’s old quarter. Each piece can be beautifully framed individually or grouped as a nostalgic homage to the city's timber-framed past.

View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouache
Located in PARIS, FR
Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education. Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home. The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...
