GOLDFINCH - Original Signed Bird Watercolour by RALSTON GUDGEON R.S.W. (1910-84)

This is a fine original, signed watercolour painting of a Goldfinch by the renowned Scottish wildlife artist Ralston Gudgeon R.S.W. It is signed in the lower right corner and on the back of the paper it is titled Goldfinch.

Gudgeon is best known for his paintings of birds and animals mostly in watercolour. Gudgeon studied at the Glasgow School and in 1933 won the Torrance Memorial Award of the Glasgow Institute.  Gudgeon was one of Scotland’s leading wildlife artists and in 1936 he was the youngest man ever to be elected to the RSW.
He is represented in the Glasgow Art Gallery, the Paisley Art Gallery and City of Edinburgh Collection.

The painting is in excellent condition. It has a small crease on the lower edge, but this is barely visible, and a few pin holes round the edge of the paper, but again these are not visible when mounted. It is not stuck to the mounting in the frame, and the frame has some markings, so may benefit from being reframed to the new owners taste.

Please see photos for condition.

Out of the frame, the paper measures approximately 12.25" (31.5cm) high, by 10.25" wide, and the frame measures approximately 15" x 12".

I have tried to be as honest as I can, but please get in touch if you have any questions!
