Description
This work had previously been attributed to Joshua Cristall (1767-1847) owing to a late inscription placed on the back of an old mount. Some aspects of Cristall’s work compare favourably with our watercolour but after some deliberation we have concluded that in our opinion the watercolour is much closer in style to John Sell Cotman (1782-1842), and with his close friend Paul Sandby Munn (1773-1845); Thomas Tudor (1785-1855) may also be a possibility.
