About the Item

Title: Water Eaton Manor House Oxfordshire Historic Buildings and Open Field View by John Steane (b.1931) Size: 7 inches (height) x 10 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, some faint handling marks and light edge wear Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This vibrant watercolour by John Steane (b.1931) captures the historic Water Eaton Manor House near Oxford, with its distinctive 17th-century gables and warm stone architecture bathed in afternoon light. Titled in pencil on the reverse as Water Eaton Manor House, the composition presents a sweeping view across a mown field, leading the eye toward a grouping of characterful period buildings nestled behind a garden wall. To the left, the iconic row of steep chimneyed rooftops from the Jacobean manor creates a striking silhouette against the expansive sky. Painted with energy and lightness, Steane’s style is fluid and expressive—clouds swirl through a patchwork sky, and lively brushstrokes bring texture to both architecture and foreground alike. This piece beautifully balances historical reverence with painterly freedom. Water Eaton is a small hamlet just north of Oxford, known for its manor house (a Grade II* listed building) and rich architectural heritage. The house has ties to Civil War-era Oxfordshire and was once used as accommodation for Charles I’s court. This painting would appeal to collectors of British heritage properties, Oxfordshire scenes, or period architecture studies in a looser, modern style. A strong addition for those interested in the history of English country estates or collectors building a regionally focused art collection.

Claude Muncaster South Cerney Gloucestershire The Old George Inn Watercolour
By Claude Muncaster
Located in London, GB
We acquired a series of paintings from Claude Muncaster's studio. To find more scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this seller." Claude Muncaster (1903-1974) The Old George Inn, South Cerney, Gloucestershire Dated October 1952 to reverse Signed lower left and further signed to reverse Pencil and Watercolour 20x30cm Muncaster's watercolours capture the English countryside feel with great competence. Here, the Old George Inn (which still exists, though in less splendid isolation) is captured charmingly. Claude Grahame Muncaster, RWS, ROI, RBA, SMA was the son of Oliver Hall RA. At the age of fifteen his career as a landscape painter began, and he soon took to the seas, spending the 1920s and 30s travelling the world with his sketchbook in a series of vessels. With the outbreak of war and he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at fifteen his mathematics was very weak and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camofleur. A master of capturing seascapes he was therefore able to hide huge ships ‘in plain sight’ with clever disguises. After the war he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham. Claude Muncaster was a watercolourist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. He was born Grahame Hall, the son of the Royal Academician Oliver Hall who taught his son to paint from an early age; Grahame first exhibited his work aged 15 and a few years later was showing at the RA. However, he adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922 to dissociate his career from that of his father. Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn...
