About the Item

Title: Set of Four Miniature Watercolors of Bristol Civic and Historic Landmarks by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements (each): Approx. 3.25 inches (height) x 3 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This distinguished set of four miniature watercolors by British artist Jack Grunwell captures key architectural and civic buildings in Bristol, focusing on the historic heart of the city. Executed in muted tones and rich detail, the paintings reflect Bristol's vibrant public life and institutional history. Corn Street, The Nails, Bristol – Once the hub of Bristol’s commercial life, Corn Street is famed for “The Nails,” bronze tables used for cash transactions by merchants. Grunwell captures the historic Exchange building and its Georgian elegance, bustling with 18th–19th century figures. Temple Church and Shakespeare Inn – Set against the backdrop of the medieval Temple Church, this scene also features the timber-framed Shakespeare Inn, evoking Bristol’s layered architectural styles and cultural references. Bristol Guildhall (circa 1860) – A prominent civic building with Gothic Revival styling, the Guildhall once served as the city’s crown court. Grunwell’s moody sky and stone textures lend gravitas to this grand facade. Council House (now City Hall), College Green – An imposing municipal building with Portland stone detail and a curved frontage, this painting represents the modern governance era, likely painted from reference before or during its use in the mid–20th century. Together, these pieces offer a compelling portrait of Bristol as a city of commerce, culture, and governance. Ideal for collectors of cityscapes, British civic history, or architectural art.
