About the Item

Title: French Watermill Landscape with Cart and Cattle Watercolour 1860 Artist: French School (mid 19th century) Medium: original watercolour on artists paper, mounted image size: 14.75 x 12.25 inches (height x width) Signed: inscribed lower right Aumont 1860, inscribed verso Donné par Mme Haye numbered upper right No 24 L J W Condition: good antique condition with light toning, small areas of surface wear and minor handling marks consistent with age provenance: private collection London A charming nineteenth century French watercolour depicting a rural watermill scene beside a calm river. A wooden mill building stands to the left with its wheel and adjoining brick structure, while in the foreground a cart and cattle drink at the water’s edge. Beyond the river stretches an open agricultural landscape with figures working in the fields beneath a wide sky of softly rendered clouds. The composition captures a peaceful moment of rural life, typical of provincial landscape painting of the mid nineteenth century. The artist employs delicate washes of colour and fine brushwork to suggest texture in the stonework, timber buildings and surrounding fields. Subtle tonal shifts in the sky and water provide a sense of atmosphere and depth, while small narrative details — such as the figures in the fields and animals by the river — animate the scene. The inscription “Aumont 1860” likely refers to the location depicted, suggesting the work was painted from observation during travel or local study. A further inscription on the reverse reading “Donné par Mme Haye” indicates that the work was later given as a gift, adding an interesting note of personal provenance.

English Village Cottages Country Landscape Watercolour Painting

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: English Village Cottages Country Landscape Watercolour Painting Artist: L W Rowe, 20th century Medium: watercolour on paper, unframed Size: 8.25 x 11.75 height x width in inches Signature: signed lower left, L W Rowe Stamped verso: not shown / no stamp visible from the image provided Provenance: private collection Condition: good overall vintage condition. The sheet shows light age toning, handling marks, surface wear and some edge wear, particularly to the lower and left edges. There are small losses / roughness to the paper edges visible in the photograph. The painted surface remains bright, attractive and decorative. Description: A charming signed watercolour by L W Rowe, depicting a peaceful English village landscape with cottages, trees, a low stone wall and rolling countryside beyond. The composition centres on a small group of traditional country cottages, their warm red, ochre and terracotta roofs set against soft green fields and a pale blue sky. A mature tree to the right and leafy garden foliage to the left frame the view, giving the scene a quiet rural atmosphere. The painting is particularly appealing for its warm colour and traditional country subject. Rowe uses soft, translucent watercolour washes to capture the pale sunlight, open road and surrounding landscape, while darker touches of green and brown bring definition to the trees, windows, wall and cottage roofs. The scene has an inviting, nostalgic quality, suggesting a village lane or rural hamlet in the English countryside. The cottages are the main focus of the composition, with their simple façades, small windows and varied rooflines giving the work strong architectural charm. The background hills add depth and a sense of place, while the open foreground gives the scene a calm, spacious feeling. It is a decorative and highly accessible example of a traditional 20th century British watercolour landscape. This piece would appeal to collectors of English village paintings...
