Mid 19th Century Watercolour of Dover #3
This is one from a wonderful set of four early Victorian watercolours of views of Dover including the White Cliffs and Dover Castle, circa 1845, all of which are listed separately.
This view is looking east towards Dover Castle as a line of wagons pulled by cart horses and accompanied by foot soldiers in red tunics and white trousers leave the outskirts of Dover heading west. The wagons are filled with boxes and bags and with women riding on top - perhaps these are the soldiers' wives and their belongings as they move camp?
The soldiers' uniforms are typical of those worn by the British Army at the time of the Napoleonic Wars though this design continued in use right up to the Crimean War in the mid 1850s.
The previous owner had attributed these paintings to William Heath but we think this is highly unlikely as he died in 1840, four years before the railway line shown in painting #2 was opened. Currently, these paintings lack an attribution.
Dimensions: Frame 58 cm x 43 cm
Image on view 44.5 cm x 29 cm
Weight 2.2 kg
Condition: The painting is in very good antique condition though perhaps a little faded. The gilt frame is somewhat distressed and has been touched-up with gold paint in places.
Each of these pictures was taken apart, cleaned and resealed in their original gilt early Victorian frames using framer's traditional paper tape.
Postage & Packing: £15 within the UK. Ideally, we would like to sell these paintings in pairs, as this would help to protect the glazing during transportation.
