Style of John Varley (1778-1842) Castle Landscape
Style of John Varley (1778-1842) Possibly by Col. George Augustus Frederick Liddell (1812-1888)
View of a Castle by a River
Watercolour highlighted with gum arabic on the back of an invitation card. Displayed with a new mount in an old oak frame and glazed.
This watercolour in the style of John Varley (1778-1842) is painted on the back of an invitation card addressed to ‘The Mr Lidddells’. The recipient: Col. George Augustus Frederick Liddell, Deputy ranger of Windsor Park and a noted cricketer was also a keen watercolour artist. We have found very few of his watercolours to compare with but given that his name appears on the back of the watercolour it is possible the picture is by him. Photographs in the Royal collection show Liddell standing alongside members of the Royal Family including Queen Victoria.
The printed invitation was sent by command of (Mary) H. R. H. the Duchess of Gloucester to invite ‘The Mr Lidddells’ to meet Her Majesty (Queen Victoria) at a small party dance … Full Dress on Thursday evening the 5 of July at ¼ before 10. Inscribed by hand in brown ink: Answer to be sent to Gloucester House (home of the Duchess) In black Gloves.
Princess Mary married her first cousin Prince William Frederick, the Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh on the 22 July 1816 whereupon Mary's brother, The Prince Regent, raised the bridegroom’s style from Highness to Royal Highness, an attribute to which Mary's rank as daughter of the King already entitled her. The couple lived at Bagshot Park, but after William's death in 1834 she moved to White Lodge in Richmond Park. They had no children together.
Princess Mary died on 30 April 1857 at Gloucester House, London, aged 81. She was the last-surviving and longest-lived child of King George III and Queen Charlotte.
