Title: Set of Six Miniature Watercolors of Historic Bristol Streets and Buildings
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements (each): Approx.: 1.5 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 richly detailed set of six miniature watercolors by Jack Grunwell captures the architectural variety and lively public spaces of historic Bristol, offering a beautifully observed portrait of its civic and social heritage.
Each painting focuses on a different landmark or streetscape:
Bristol Council House (now City Hall) – A fine neoclassical civic building with its prominent portico and clock tower, bustling with townspeople in period dress, reflecting Bristol’s role as a centre of administration and local power.
Almshouses and Georgian Residential Street – A quieter composition featuring symmetrical façades, well-kept gardens, and elegant Georgian design, possibly King Street or Queen Square, evoking early 18th-century philanthropic housing.
The Llandoger Trow and Adjacent Market – A lively street scene around one of Bristol’s most famous timber-framed pubs, believed to date to the 1660s, shown amid vibrant activity and early trade.
Victorian Music Hall or Assembly Rooms – A dramatic central façade with pedimented entrance and flanking shops, suggesting a venue for performance or civic gathering during Bristol’s Victorian era.
Medieval Chapel or Guild Hall – Featuring a pointed arched window and slate-roofed buildings, likely a religious or community building, painted in subdued tones with figures along a winding lane.
The Shakespeare Tavern with Tower Behind – A dynamic streetscape showing Bristol’s iconic timber-framed tavern with nearby church tower, set in a busy plaza that reflects the city’s layered commercial and religious history.
With Grunwell’s signature soft brushwork, historically accurate costuming, and rich architectural detail, this set is perfect for collectors of urban British miniatures, Bristol history, or vernacular architecture.
