Featured Goerge Wallis watercolor rare

Hi my new found rare Goerge Wallis watercolor not many of his work come for sell

 

Very atmospheric, I like it

Any chance of a better picture of it in full

Know it's hard with watercolours because of the glass, sometimes better to picture at a slight angle not head on

 

Check your spelling as well buddy

 

Have a look at this one can you read what it says it the back

 

It's lovely!

 

It's very well done

Back looks to read

Related to Henry Wallis (1830 - 1916)

Death of ? - Tate (maybe gallery?)

 

Regarding the writing. The person is asking if George Wallis is related to artist Henry Wallis who painted the Death of Chatterton, which might be in the Tate Gallery. Who knows if they are related, research for you to do!

St. Mary the Virgin Church, Putney. The Restoration Fund would be following the 1973 arson attack that destroyed its interior.

Here's another watercolor of a similar scene painted nearby (on Thistle Grove) by the Victorian painter William Cowen.

I love night scenes ,but rarely do they come off as atmospheric as this one. Usually they are just dark !

 

Probably due to "the Narnian lamposts" as they're described in Cowen's painting.

It looks like the Wallis artist scratched the watercolor paint off of the surface while slightly damp, making the white "lines" of light. In lieu of this, the second example of white street lights - is a method of blocking the color out and blotting. Both successful.

Something may have been obliterated or altered digitally from the sky in Debora's post above..

 

Oh, yes. I see it. There's a patch, isn't there.
