About the Item

English Mansion by the Cemetery - Late 1800s Watercolor on Paper Dramatic and detailed landscape by Lucy Cooper (British, 1853-1929). A large home is shown on the left, with a red roof and two chimneys. In the foreground is a large grassy lawn, with several tombstones. Large, lush trees flank both sides of the composition, and the sky is full of puffy clouds. Signed and dated in the lower right corner "E. Lucy Cooper 1890" Mat size: 18"H x 22"W Paper size: 9.75"H x 14"W Image size: 9.25"H x 13.25"W Lucy Cooper (British, 1853-1929) was born in 1853 the second of five children and was brought up in a middle -class family in Henley where her father John Cooper was a local solicitor and Town Clerk. She was known for her watercolor landscapes, especially of her hometown - she painted roughly 23 watercolor views of Henley around the turn of the century, which, on her death were given to the town in her memory. The paintings span the years 1888 to 1925 and capture the mood of the era with a clear depiction of the businesses and shops that once typified the town of Henley from the timber and barges at Webbs Wharf to the skiffs on the river and hawkers on the streets. The collection of Lucy Coopers' watercolours usually hung in the Mayors parlour in the Town Hall and were given to the town in 1929.
