PRIMITIVE WATERCOLOUR W. SKINNER AUCTIONEER CHATHAM

This interesting Primitive Watercolour of a well-dressed Gentleman, seated beneath a bower, bears a handwritten paper label which states:

“My Grandfather W. Skinner, my Mother’s Father, Auctioneer of Chatham.  Gravestone stands among the outside of Chatham Churchyard – now a resting place.”

The painting would appear to date from around 1860-1880.  The Auctioneer’s Directory of 1860 lists two Auctioneers by the name of Skinner in Chatham – Skinner J and Skinner J T.  These could be relatives of this Gentleman.

The Watercolour is in its original, unrestored condition with, what appears to be, the original frame, mount and glass.
