About the Item

Title: Victorian Clocktower and Bandstand Spring Scene Watford Park Watercolour by John Steane (b.1931) Size: 14.25 inches (height) x 22.25 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, with minor edge wear Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This original watercolour painting by John Steane (b.1931) captures a vibrant springtime scene in Watford, Hertfordshire, featuring the distinctive Victorian clocktower and bandstand of Cassiobury Park. The architectural details of the historic town hall rise behind blossoming green foliage, while the elegant copper-domed bandstand stands proudly to the right. Steane’s skilled use of delicate washes and crisp ink outlines brings both architectural grandeur and seasonal atmosphere to life. A master of subtle detail, Steane balances the stark silhouettes of winter trees in the foreground with the fresh vibrancy of spring foliage, suggesting a moment of transition. The dramatic grey sky adds a classic English mood, enhancing the timeless charm of this urban park setting. Though unsigned, the piece is typical of Steane’s work—sensitive, observational, and quietly evocative. Watford’s Cassiobury Park is one of the largest public parks in Hertfordshire, with origins dating back to the 16th century. Today, it remains a well-loved local landmark, and scenes such as this appeal to collectors seeking British townscapes, architectural studies, or works rooted in personal memory and place. This watercolour would make a beautiful addition to collections of British art, London commuter belt scenes, or paintings of public gardens and park architecture.
