About the Item

A very fine example of an early 19thC watercolour showing an arched bridge over a river that joins to a gatehouse in a city's walls. The bridge is busy with people coming and going; one man straddles the bridge wall, letting his leg dangle over the edge. The painting is presented in a gilt frame with glazing and a gold wash-line mount. On wove.

Cox was initially expected to follow his father into the metal trade and take over his forge, but his lack of physical strength led his family to seek opportunities for him to develop his interest in art, which is said to have first become apparent when the young Cox started painting paper kites...
