Lot 592: L. Parry, A British Mountain Landscape with Farmhouse and Sheep, Watercolour
This watercolour on heavy-grained paper portrays a traditional British mountain landscape, likely situated within the English Lake District or North Wales. The composition features a dark stone-built house nestled behind a dry stone wall, with a large mature tree in the left foreground displaying autumnal foliage. A sloping green field contains several sheep, set against a backdrop of craggy blue-toned peaks under an overcast sky. The work is executed in a representational style using soft atmospheric washes. A signature is painted in cursive letters in the lower right corner, reading L. Parry. The artwork is housed in a modern light wood frame with a grey mount. An orange adhesive auction label is present on the lower right of the mount, printed with the number 592. A smaller white adhesive auction label is located on the bottom right corner of the frame, printed with the number 7.
