Antique 19th Century Victorian Gothic Painting Old Man Drinking Feast Room Wine c.1870

For sale this week is a very accomplished Victorian ear watercolour. The scene is that of an old man drinking in his dining room. The table is loaded with goodies including a crystal decanter and a vase of fruit. I would estimate it was painted around 1875 and is British in origin. It is one of several by the same artist that I will be listing over the next few days, so it is possible this series is part of a set of illustrations for a book. The backing paper measures about measures about 27 by 22 centimeters. The image itself measures about 15 by 12 centimeters. Total weight is about 35 grams. Condition is good with bright colours and strong contrast. Minor smudges and wear in places on the backing paper from handling over time. Please refer to the photographs.
