Watercolour by Vernon Wethered (1865–1952); Son of Bristol
Colliery owner Henry Wethered. Vernon studied at Clifton College between
(1875-1884). He then went on to study at Oriel College Oxford and the Slade
School of Fine Art, London. He was elected to the New
England Art Club in 1932 and exhibited 37 works at the NEAC, 57 at the
Redfern Gallery and various other salons.
This is one of a number of watercolours that I am
listing individually, from a large portfolio of work by Vernon Wethered. The
last images shows a page for the 20th century publication ‘The Artist’.
The artical about Vernon Wethered was written by F.G. Mories in 1948 (Not
