Thomas Girtin (British 1775-1802) circa 1797/St Pauls Cathedral from St Martin-le-Grand/signed lower left/watercolour with bodycolour and gum Arabic on fibrous hemp/linen broad laid wrapping, 47cm x 38cm/Note: Girtin's boyhood was spent at 2 St Martin-le-Grand, where his widowed mother kept a wood turners shop, he alludes to it in the sign F. Girton, Toy Maker in this watercolour, a typical little joke from the artist. Girtin made three versions of this view: an unfinished, grey wash drawing (Yale Centre for British Art) and a watercolour (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), both around 1795. The present watercolour, with different figures, is the most vividly coloured and accomplished; the high-waisted dress of the fashionable lady at the right suggests that it was made circa 1798, The subtle play of light on the curving street and the lively, witty street life reflects Girtin's delight in the bustling metropolis. Our thanks go to Susan Morris for helping us attribute this watercolour directly to Thomas Girtin, and to Father Stephen Horton of Prinknash Abbey for encouraging us to research this watercolour further./Provenance: Plas Gwyn, Anglesey Condition Report: Condition: the painting is overall in good condition, there is a small amount of foxing, the gum Arabic has slightly oxidised, the colours are quite fresh but the paper has browned a bit. Provenance: this painting comes from Plas Gwyn, Anglesey, North Wales The painting is not recorded but has been authenticated by Susan Morris, the senior researcher at Richard Green Gallery, New Bond Street, London, who is considered in the UK as a leading expert on Girtin. We believe that the watercolour was probably bought by Paul Panton of Plas Gwyn, an industrialist and antiquarian, however the present family are unsure of the date of its purchase. We found the watercolour in the attic at Plas Gwyn, the frame and glass were broken but luckily the picture was in good condition, it has never been touched or restored we have added a mount and frame for its protection. The paper is fibrous hemp lined broad laid paper, typical of Girtin’s usual choice, it has however been fixed to another sheet of paper
