PROVENANCE:

The present lot is a rare and impressive example of Richardson's London views. Best known for his depictions of North-East England, Richardson was born in Newcastle, starting his career as a cabinet maker, before turning his attention to fine art in 1806. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1814, and at the Royal Society of British Artists from 1827. Richardson helped to found the Northern Academy of Arts and organised the first Fine Art Exhibition in the north of England in 1822. The Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, houses a number of important works by the artist, including a rare watercolour of London, Scene at Greenwich, on the River Thames. Another London scene, View on the Thames at Chelsea, with Battersea Bridge, was shown at the Royal Society of British Artists, 1841, no.333.
