Gwendolen Jackson – At The Market – Watercolour Painting

About this Gwendolen Jackson watercolour

At The Market is an original watercolour by Gwendolen Jackson (born 1919), measuring 11 x 14 inches and sold unframed. It is a genuine painted picture, not a print, from the artist’s recent studio sale. Her work, mostly from the 1950s, offers an insight into both rural and industrial life in mid-century Britain, and a market scene sits right at the heart of that world. Alongside our theatre memorabilia we offer original watercolour paintings by British artists, bringing genuine mid-century social history to your walls.

The large size is = 11" X 14".

The paintings and drawings came from her studio sale recently. The majority date from the 1950s and offer an insight into life in the mid 20th century both rural and industrial. Little is documented about this artist but her work speaks for itself. She did however teach art in secondary schools like many talented artist did to earn a stable income.

Again we state it is your choice to decide if this is genuine, we are not selling these as genuine, but they may well be, no returns, sorry.

Condition: V Good, vlcr, pin holes in the corners, a tiny tiny corner nick (what the codes mean)
