Lot 278: John Selby, Monochrome Watercolour of an English Parish Church
A monochrome watercolour on paper by John Selby, depicting a representational landscape of a traditional English parish church. The architectural features include a square crenellated tower and Gothic-arched windows, set within a graveyard populated by numerous headstones. The composition includes a foreground of overgrown grass and shrubbery, flanked by mature trees under a wash-rendered sky. The work is signed JOHN SELBY in the lower-left corner. It is housed under glass within an olive-toned double mount and a dark wood frame featuring a gilt inner slip. Auction lot stickers numbered 1 and 278 are present on the frame and glass.
Condition report:
