Description
Noel Harry Leaver,
British 1889-1951-
A busy street scene, with a Cathedral beyond;
pencil and watercolour on paper, signed 'Noel. H. Leaver. A.R.C.A.' (lower right), 36.5 x 26.5 cm.
Note:
The present watercolour is a typical example of Leaver's compositions, featuring a church tower which peers out from behind bustling streets in the foreground. Leaver travelled widely across Europe and North Africa, having won a Travelling Studentship in 1911 and a RIBA Owen Jones Studentship in 1912, an experience which clearly heavily informed the artist's subsequent output, with many of Leaver's watercolours depicting the variety of cities and landscapes that he encountered. Towneley Hall Art Gallery, in the artist's native Burnley, holds a significant collection of his watercolours.
