[Allegory of War and Peace.]
[n.d., c.1820.]
Watercolour. Two sheets joined, total 105 x 650mm (4¼ x 24½"). Folded, a few splits in folds, laid on album paper.
A charming watercolour, showing a scene of war on the left third and peaceful rural scenes on the rest. A warship is shown, disembarquing red-coated soldiers onto an island with a castle flying the Union Flag, while firing on another ship. The rustic scene includes coaching, steeplechasing, with a churchyard, windmill and yachts. The colours are very fresh.
