'Terrace, Haddon Hall'
bears added initials 'DC' (lower left)
with inscription as title on a label verso
watercolour
6 1/4 x 5 1/2 in
Provenance: J. T. Collins, Esq. Edgbaston, Birmingham
Possibly with Thomas Agnew & Sons
J. R. Bettinson, Esq
Thence by descent
Exhibited: City of Birmingham, Museum & Art Gallery, Catalogue of a special collection of Works by David Cox, 1890 no. 3 (as Staircase to Terrace, Haddon Hall)
There were over 400 works exhibited in the 1890 exhibition, including some whose attribution have been subsequently called into question. Such was the demand for Cox's work at the time (his stature being close to Constable and Turner), that enhancement of works was common.
James Tertius Collins (d.1913), whose label appears on the reverse of the watercolour, was a Birmingham brassfounder and businessman. He was clearly a significant collector. After his death in 1913 there were were several bequests from his Estate to Birmingham City Art Gallery, including watercolours by Callow, Cox and Wimperis.
David Cox visited Haddon Hall a number of times in the 1830's and also in 1845.
