HERCULES BRABAZON BRABAZON (BRITISH 1821-1906)A MARKET SCENE, NORTH AFRICAWatercolour heightened with white25.5 x 34.5cm (10 x 13½in.)The artist was a close friend of John Singer Sargent and it was largely due to Sargent's encouragement, along with other artist friends, that Brabazon, in his seventies finally began to exhibit his work at the NEAC and to sell his work at the Goupil Gallery, London. His works were favourably received by critics and the buying public and were acclaimed for their great freedom and painterly expressiveness. (Scott Wilcox and Christopher Newall, Victorian Landscape Watercolours, 1992, p. 61). Prior to that, Brabazon had considered himself a gentleman amateur and had not thought to sell his work. Brabazon travelled regularly throughout Europe and further afield to India and North Africa, when the present watercolour was executed. There is a portrait by Sargent of Brabazon, painted circa 1900, in the National Museum, Wales.
