William Callow, RWS (1812-1908)"The Mouth of the River Early Morning"Signed and dated 1837, watercolour with scratching out, 51cm by 72cmWilliam Rodman & Co. BelfastSotheby's 10.3.1988, Lot 89Private Collection, UKFootnote: As this striking, atmospheric work is a possible exhibition piece, it is worth noting that in 1837- shortly before returning permanently to England from France - Callow won a silver medal at the first exhibition of the Societe des Amis des Arts Bologne -sur-Mer. As he wrote in his autobiography, "I was principally painting sea pieces at the time: they were quite a novelty in Paris, and I received many orders for them from Durand-Ruel." Literature H.M Cundall (Editor), William Callow R.W.S., F.R.G.S: An Autobiography, Adam and Charles Black, London, 1908, p.63Condition report: In a broadly good state of preservation, there is a relatively small amount of small-medium-sized sporadic foxing spots which are evident within the sky. There is a further patch of more concentrated and larger sized foxing spots mostly evident within the sea between the right-hand side rowing boat and the buoy. Colour depth is broadly in good order, although the red of the overcoat worn by the figure seated on the left-hand side ship shows a possible degree of reduction to colour. Some slight cockling in evidence, not examined out of the frame.
