I specialise in affordable original artworks - mainly traditional watercolours and oil paintings but I also have a range of contemporary artworks including limited edition lithographic prints. I also stock a limited selection of antiques and collectables, including treen, ceramics and glass. I have now opened a shop in Wallingford (OX100BU) between Reading and Oxford, but I also trade online. My website, www.artandstuffgallery.com has a gallery section with several mini-galleries where my items are displayed, including more contemporary items not shown on LoveAntiques.

Description
This is a very beautifully executed watercolour of a river in North Wales, (with solitary fisherman) by listed artist, George Henry Downing. He was born in 1878 in Portsmouth and focused on watercolour landscapes for most of his career. He was also an art teacher, lecturer and writer. Signed by the artist lower right and entitled "Autumn Evening, North Wales" lower left. The piece is not dated but is likely to be late 19th/early 20th century.
Downing was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, from 1921 and he later founded the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society. He is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940.
