Description
An original early 19th-century watercolour painting, William James Mller, Interior with Woman Seated by Fire.This beautiful study by William James Mller (18121845) shows a rustic interior with a woman seated pensively by the hearth. Mller painted a number of rustic interior subjects, including studies in rural Wales, at Bettws-y-Coed, as well as on his travels abroad, including at Lycia (Turkey). The women’s bonnet in the present watercolour suggests this may be an interior in Northern France, which Mller visited in 1840.An ink and wash interior study in the Yale Center for British Art (B1975.4.1565) shows the artist’s keen interest in the everyday accoutrements of peasant life, uniquely recording these humble ways of living in the early 19th century.On wove paper laid down on backing card. Inscribed: Inscribed ‘Mller’ on verso of backing card. A further inscription has been historically abraded and is now indistinct. Height: 32.2cm (12.7) Width: 21.6cm (8.5) Condition: Damage to the paper (corner creasing and edge tears) has historically been conserved by shoring up with backing card, so that the overall impression is now good. There is a short tear to the lower edge of the backing card. Please see photos for detail. Presented: Unframed.
