Original 1972 watercolor and ink painting by British artist John Glover, depicting Keble College, Oxford.
This charming architectural landscape shows the distinctive red-brick Gothic Revival buildings of Keble College surrounded by lawn, trees, and a pathway. The work is executed in loose pen-and-ink with transparent watercolor washes, giving it the lively, expressive quality of an on-location architectural sketch.
The painting is signed at the lower right and inscribed:
“Keble College Oxford”
