Charles Edward Wilson Watercolour ‘Sailing The Toy Boat’

Charles Edward Wilson 1854-1941 was born at Whitwell, Nottinghamshire and studied at the Sheffield School of Art. He exhibited 17 works at the Royal Academy and 13 works at the New Watercolour Society as well as exhibiting at various other venues. The work of Charles Edward Wilson is always intensely personal with a rare feeling for the beauty and colour and rendered with a charming grace of line. His pictures capture the picturesque and romantic aspect of his subject and at the same time display an inspirational power. His workmanship can only be described as superb. Many would argue that Wilson with his fine, sound workmanship has not been matched by many later watercolour artists with the same amount of truth and value. ‘Sailing the Toy Boat’ signed watercolour, image size 15x22.5 cms, framed size 36.5 x 46.5 cms. Housed in its original regilded period frame with premium ant-reflective glass. I have another charming example by this artist in stock which came from the same private collection.
