As a result, this watercolour has been hidden from public view and the colours have been preserved in crisp, bright condition.Thomas Miles Richardson Junior favoured mountainous views, first in the Scottish Highlands, following the subjects of his father, and later Italian views and Alpine scenes in Switzerland, France and Italy. The unusual vantage point in the present watercolour, perched precipitously on a mountain road, with surrounding peaks atmospherically filling the vista, shows Richardson's confidence as a draughtsman and eye for composition.The watercolour bears the attribution 'Richardson' on the accompanying backing paper. The verso of the painting is extensively inscribed with what appears to be a list of books, and travel books in particular, including 'Inglis [Henry David] Channel Islands' and 'Miss Pardoe's Hungary'.In watercolour with graphite on cream wove paper.Provenance: from an album of drawings associated with Sir William Vernon Guise, 4th Baronet (1816–1887) and his circle.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and—if it is a collection artwork—its accompanying collection text or artist biography. Signed: Inscribed with artist's name on separate accompanying backing paper. Inscribed: Inscribed verso. Height: 10.7cm (4.2″) Width: 15.1cm (5.9″) Condition: In good condition for its age. There is a tiny pinhole in the paper at the upper centre and the odd tiny mark. There are historic adhesive marks to the edges on the verso, from previous mounting, which have caused very slight toning towards the edges on the front. Please see photos for detail.
