Lot description

Edward Killingworth Johnson, British 1825-1896- A Summer's Afternoon; watercolour and bodycolour on paper, signed 'E. Killingworth Johnson / 1876.' (lower right), 50 x 71.5 cm. Note: Johnson built his success as an artist during the 1860s as a regular contributor to 'The Illustrated London News' and latterly 'The Graphic', a decade in which became known as a 'Golden Age of Illustration'. A wood engraver, illustrator, watercolourist and painter in oils, he predominantly depicted rural genre scenes such as the present work. The same year this watercolour was produced, Johnson sold one of his works 'The Anxious Mother' to Myles Birket-Foster (1825-1899). His uncles were the marine artist James Meadows, and the illustrator John Masey Wright. Please refer to department for condition report
