Over the coming months, I will be listing a number of items from my personal collection. These are all from my personal collection - once they are gone, they are gone!

On offer is an original vintage painting in gouache on art paper. Skillfully executed by Devon artist Victor Papworth. Entitled "And every fairy wheel and thread, Of cobweb dew-bediamonded" after the poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. 

This is one of a series of Scottish paintings undertaken by the artist. It is a unique piece of art, would grace any home and would make a good investment. Signed and dated by the artist. Papworth embarked on several sketching tours of the British Isles during the 1960s and 1970s. He documented the beauty of the British landscape in a post-war era when the foreign travel industry was booming. Papworth finds delight in the picturesque mountains, lakes, fells, dales and vales of Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Cumbria, Scotland and Wales. He also explores Devon and Cornwall’s coastal views, villages and harbours, as well as rural churches and castles. Working in gouache and pastel, his works are vigorous, expressive and vibrant, charting the consistent beauty in the landscape throughout changing weather and seasons.

Executed on art paper, it would make an excellent decorative piece. It is supplied unframed. Please see the photos.

At the time of listing, I have a number of paintings by Papworth on offer. Overall, the sheet measures approx 25cm x 19cm.
