Offered for your consideration is this original artwork by Robert Van Vorst
(R.V.V.) Sewell, (New York, 1860 - Florence, Italy, 1924). I believe it is
referred to as gouache? watercolor, although I am by no means an expert in the
field of fine art. The following information is an excerpt from the website
ARTOFTHEPRINT.COM - "A fine landscape painter and etcher, Robert Van Vorst
Sewell studied art in Paris under Lefebvre and Boulanger from 1883 to 1887. As
early as 1888, Sewell’s art was receiving much recognition, including the
prestigious Hallgarten prize from the National Academy of Design. Robert Sewell
was a full member of the Society of Mural Painters, the Architectural League of
New York and was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in
1902. During his career, Sewell devoted much of his time to depicting the
scenery and architecture of European towns and cities. In fact, the last ten
years of his life were spent as a resident of Italy. Most of Sewell’s
etchings... date from the last decade of the nineteenth century. Printed upon
thin China paper... Signed by the artist in the plate and signed in pencil by
him along the lower margin." The image itself measures 9" x 11", and the tissue
thin medium it is painted on, very likely China paper, as mentioned above,
measures 12.25" x 16", applied to board. Frame size measures 19" x 20.75".
Although I do not know the year of this work I have it listed as pre-1900, only
because the artist lived most of his life before the turn of the century
