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.
