Description: "Thames River Barge, London,"
watercolor, unsigned, 7" x 10.3",
11" x 15.4" frame.
Condition:Excellent condition.
Biography: Written verso are the words "by J...
Fairman," apparently a notation by the
framer. There may be a signature under the
mat, but since it's very old we have preferred
to not remove it - at this time. The frame
is gilded wood. The painting dates from the
period that James Fairman (American), 1826-1904,
was in Europe - he was in Stratford on Avon
in 1874. We have not managed to find examples
of his drawings, though he is given credit
for working on paper. It is also said that he taught George Herbert
McCord who excelled in the medium of watercolor
and pastel. Since the evidence is circumstantial,
at best, we price this work accordingly -
a fine example of mid-19th century watercolor
in the English tradition.
