There is a second brown monochrome watercolour study of foliage verso, initials 'W.H.R' lower left and top left verso in pen, pencil and watercolour on paper, 25 x 35.5 cm, glazed and framed. Provenance: consigned for sale from the estate of a family member of the artist. William Heath Robinson was known for his children's books and humorous illustrations. He also contributed cartoons to publications like Sketch and Bystander. From 1903, he extended his talents to illustrate advertising and publicity books for companies such as Moss Brothers, showcasing his delightful cartoon style.Robinson maintained his passion for painting throughout his life. A series of watercolour pieces unveils a different facet of the artist, albeit one that appears tentatively in touch with his cartoons, contraptions and work in books. He later wrote of this passion: “I devoted much time to watercolour painting at home, relying very largely for this on my imagination… I have tried all through my life as an artist to keep this side of my work alive”.
