From the Rocks between Dawlish and Teignmouth, Devon, fine watercolour with pen and brown ink on pale cream Whatman wove paper (with partial watermark), sheet size 19 x 27.5 cm (7 1/2 x 10 3/4 ins), corner-mounted on backing paper, with double-rule ink framing border, and inscription in brown ink (by the artist) to lower margin 'From the Rocks between Dawlish & Teignmouth', window-mounted QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890-1962), collector and author of Early English Watercolours and Some Cognate Drawings by Artists born not later than 1785 (London: Connoisseur, 1952). John White Abbott was born in May 1764, the nephew of the prominent Exeter lawyer and non-conformist James White (1744-1825), and a pupil of the watercolourist Francis Towne (whom James White had accompanied on a tour of north Wales in 1777). As Towne's pupil he mastered the technique of delicate pen outline providing contrasts between loose, flat washes of colour and delicate tracery, as in the present work.

    John White Abbott (British, 1763–1851) Country house amongst trees, Devon

    Est: £500 - £800

    John White Abbott (British, 1763–1851) Country house amongst trees, Devon pencil on buff paper h:12 w:14 cm Provenance: From the collection of the late Sir Richard Parsons Other Notes: Born and educated in Exeter, John White Abbott established himself first and foremost as a surgeon and kept his practice throughout his life. He studied art under his friend Francis Towne (1739-1816), but opted not to become a professional artist. He assimilated Towne's style so well that his works are often almost indistinguishable from those of his mentor. Abbott exhibited annually at the Royal Academy between 1795 and 1805, yet he lived the life of a country gentleman and is said never to have sold a picture. As a result, a large proportion of his works have remained in his family's collection. Abbott seldom left his native Devon and, as an amateur landscape artist, mostly specialised in depicting the local scenery of the Exeter region. Sir Richard Edmund Clement Fownes Parsons (1928-2016) This sale includes selected items from the collection of the late Sir Richard Parsons, removed from his Norfolk home. Sir Richard Parsons was a career diplomat, and through the 1970s and 1980s he was successively British Ambassador to Hungary, Spain and Sweden. During the late 1960s and early 1970s he had postings to Ankara and Lagos, as well as periods in London. In 1976 he was appointed ambassador to Hungary. He was the Ambassador to Sweden from 1984 to 1987, after which he left the Diplomatic Service and settled in King's Lynn, Norfolk. In his retirement he focused on his writing and at the town's literary festival gave talks about his diplomatic adventures. Notable pieces from this collection are the wonderful Madonna and Child by the Master of San Miniato (lot 106) and the rare miniature by Isaac Oliver of Sir Richard Parsons' ancestor, Thomas Fones, who was Mayor of Plymouth (lot 161). Also of note are the vibrant watercolours by his grandfather, Alfred Parsons, RA (lots 85-88) which demonstrate the family's artistic leanings in addition to their passion for collecting. Lots 62, 63, 65, 83, 99, 130, 134, 161-165 are also from this estate. In our March 2019 Fine Art sale we will offer a Grand Tour portrait of his ancestor Edward Curtis of Mardyke House, Hotwells, Bristol, by Marco Benefial (Italian, 1684 - 1764) together with the embroidered silk waistcoat the sitter is wearing (please refer to the advertisement at the beginning of this catalogue).
