Our Bristol School exhibition is still on view. These watercolours by William James Muller date from his visit to Egypt in 1838-9. The first was drawn on 27th December titled ‘Twilight, Egypt’, the second is a detail of a Nile view in the long format later favoured by Lear
Delighted that these two oil sketches of the Bristol Riots by James Baker Pyne are going to a good home. After the voting down of the second Reform Bill in October 1831, Bristol was consumed by three days of protests and riots. Exhibition of Bristol School continues until 6 Oct

Much of my current exhibition is of landscapes but this is an exception. It is a study for the right hand of George Stanhope, 6th Earl of Chesterfield (1805-1866) by James Ward, R.A. for his large painting ‘Lord Stanhope riding a Pony’ now in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
