Veduta Urbana, a nineteenth‑century watercolour painting from the United Kingdom, sold with its frame.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Although it is not possible to identify the author with certainty and in the absence of a visible signature, given the compositional and chromatic similarities with the famous watercolors of masters of picturesque architecture and of Northern European view painters of the 19th century, it is believed possible to attribute it to the English artist Samuel Prout.
Samuel Prout (1783–1852) was one of the most celebrated masters of the English Watercolor School and is internationally famous for his paintings of historic architectures and European urban views.
The work represents a market scene in a medieval town street.
Dimensions: 33x23 cm unframed, 51x41 cm with frame.
It is probably a hand-watercolored-era lithograph.
The work, with a golden mat and original gilded frame, was mounted by the W.M. Dibben firm, 104 Poole Road, Westbourne Bournemouth.
The original label on the back, “WM Dibben, 104 Poole Road, Westbourne, Bournemouth – Practical Frame Maker, Gilder & Picture Dealer”, qualifies the piece as a Victorian or Edwardian antique item.
