Guy Peppiatt Fine Art

Watercolour over pencil heightened with touches of bodycolour
32.2 x 47.7 cm, 12 1/2 x 18 3/4 inches

This is a copy of a John Sell Cotman watercolour in the Tate Gallery (T08836, formerly Opp' collection) which dates from Cotman's tour of Yorkshire in 1805. Leman was a second generation Norwich School artist who was much influenced by Cotman and owned a large collection of his work. The existence of this copy suggests that Cotman's 'View on the Greta or the Tees' is likely to have been in Leman's collection which was sold at the Exhibition Rooms, Norwich on 23rd April 1863.
