Moore' in the lower left corner, further inscribed with attribution on mount, sheet 250 x 165 mm. (9 7/8 x 6 1/2 in), some small nicks and tears to extremities, tipped at upper corners onto paper support, unframed, [circa 1840s]; together with a mixed group of 14 other English watercolours by various hands, all unframed, 19th century (15).
⁂ George Belton Moore was an English landscape painter and drawing-master. He published works on perspective (1850) and principles of colour (1851), and exhibited at the Royal Academy. He also provided drawings for the plates in Henry Gally Knight's 'The Ecclesiastical Architecture Of Italy. From The Time Of Constantine To The Fifteenth Century', which was published in 1844. The present drawing possibly relates to this work.
