James Bourne, Journeying into Malvern, with the Great Malvern Priory below
Est: £100 - £150
James Bourne, British 1773-1854- Journeying into Malvern, with the Great Malvern Priory below; pencil and watercolour on paper, signed 'James Bourne Malvern' verso, bears label inscribed 'JAMES BOURNE 1773-1854 / EXHIBITED. RA. 1800-1809' attached to the reverse of the frame, 26.3 x 39.7 cm. Note: Bourne was a prolific watercolourist in the early 19th century, before giving up art in 1848 to become a Methodist Minister. The present work depicts a view of the Worcestershire spa town of Malvern, with its distinctive 11th-century Priory visible to the right of the composition. The journeying group very much recall representations of The Holy Family.
