Description:
This is a fine quality large antique English Victorian watercolour painting by David Cox Jnr., circa 1840, of a river scene and a castle in the distance, believed to be set within its original gilt frame, in excellent original condition. This watercolour painting, which is paper-backed on canvass for additional strength, is very well painted. It depicts a quintessential English river landscape scene, of a tranquil river meandering through a wooded landscape. There is a pebbled bank with two fishermen in a boat, casting off amongst the reeds. This tranquil study shows great detail and atmosphere, probably painted on a still afternoon day. We see muted greens and brown in the foliage to the right, which is reflected in the river. The distant shore shows cattle grazing before a castle set in woodlands. Obviously, painted by a very skilled hand and a scene one would never tire of viewing. The Victorian watercolour painting is signed “D. Cox Jnr” in bottom right corner. We believe this large watercolour sits within its original gilt frame, which is in excellent condition.

The watercolour painting would look superb in a variety of rooms, including the hallway, living room or bedroom. This is a well-balanced and restful scene, one of which the viewer would not tire. This item would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is an attractive and colourful piece. So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely picture.

History of David Cox Jnr.
David Cox (9 July 1809 – 6 December 1885), known as David Cox the Younger, David Cox II or David Cox Jr. to distinguish him from his better-known father David Cox. An English painter in watercolour, mostly of landscapes. He was taught to paint and draw by his father, although he tended to use a brighter colour palette.
In 1851 he is recorded at Streatham Place with his wife Hannah. 4 daughters and a servant. His probate records his residence at death as "Chester House" in Mount Ephraim Road

In 1826 he resolved to become an artist himself, and in the following year removed with his parents from Hereford to London, in that year exhibiting for the first time at the Royal Academy. About 1840 he married, but still continued to be his father's helpmate, and the sharer in all his domestic anxieties or good fortune. In 1849 he was elected an associate of the Society of Painters in Water-colours. He exhibited in the Royal Academy from 1827 and the Society of Painters in Water Colour from 1848.
He died at his home in Streatham Hill and was buried at West Norwood Cemetery.
