작품 상세

An early 20th century watercolor on paper representing a landscape with cows, a milkmaid and her dog, signed lower left J. Barclay. Set in an antique frame of the same period. J. Barclay was the pseudonym used by Horace Hammond in the early 1900s for his watercolors of country scenes. This Birmingham, UK, landscape artist worked in the style of Birket Foster, and his style was very precise. Horace Hammond also used the pseudonym A. D. Bell at the request of Arthur Joseph, the Brierly Hill, Birmingham, art dealer with whom he worked. The works, biography and auction records of this artist require an investigation of three different names to get the full picture of his activity. Dimensions: View: about 7 1/2 by 15 1/2 inches.
