Item Details

A late 18th/early 19th century gouache on paper landscape, an unusual composition with passing ships two large naval, small rowing and sail boats centred by a large country estate.


It has the feel of being American in origins, but we could be wrong. Some creasing lines are apparent, but apart fro that is good untouched condition, housed in a period maple and gilt slip frame and glazed.


Provence By descent from Douglas Shepherd (1922-1989), a designer and architect working on public houses for the brewery firm Ind Coope. He was heavily influenced by and was a serious collector of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau, including leading designers and artists such as Charles Ashlee and Jessie M King. He assembled a large collection from the 1950s to 1970s. His book collection was subsequently sold through Sotherby’s and in 2013.
