    hi folks

    a few pieces i found this week, 1 watercolour & pencil at local auction,

    https://www.easyliveauction.com/cat...a6646f/homewares-and-interiors-sale-lot-612a/

    the other watercolour in a chazza yesterday

    the watercolour from the auction was a pretty easy id find, has all the details on the back as well so for shows

    unsure about artist for the sunset watercolour

    the drawing i'm not sure at all about, but came with the watercolour i was interested in

    I see "B. Thompson" for the watercolor but could well be a "P." as above. A Sunday painter, I'd think. For the pencil sketch I read "W. M. Flower '86."

    there seems to be a Marmaduke C. William Flower which would fit in date wise.

    seems to have been a portrait artist but did landscapes

    long shot, but maybe a preparatory drawing or just a sketch

    Honestly, Charlie! Do I have to do everything around here? That's a very distinctive landscape -- a chateau on an island connected to both banks by bridges.

    I thought it might be a preparatory drawing too. And, if my first name were Marmaduke, I'd use my initials too.

    Nope. Too modern.

    Don't think that's by your friend Marmaduke. Not quite his sensibility.

    Perhaps someone can identify the location. I can't. (Adds value.)

    thanks Aj !, got some better snaps of the drawing today as it was too dark last night

    i'm thinking it must be The Île de la Cité or paris island but not 100% sure

    It isn't the Île de la Cité, that is much more built up. It is choc-a-bloc with higher buildings, including the Notre Dame. This location looks more rural.

    No, not Île de la Cité. But when one searches for "chateau" and "island" and "Seine", that's what comes up.
