An original c.1832 watercolour painting, J.B., Folkestone Harbour after Luke Clennell.

A fine watercolour in sepia showing a view at Folkestone, Kent after the British wood-engraver and painter Luke Clennell (1781–1840).

Clennell was apprenticed to the Newcastle upon Tyne wood-engraver Thomas Bewick in 1797. In May 1806 he was awarded the gold palette of the Society of Arts for a wood-engraving of a battle scene. In 1814 he received from the Earl of Bridgewater a commission for a large commemorative picture, Banquet for the Allied Sovereigns, at the Guildhall, London.

On watermarked John Hall 1832 wove paper.

Mary McAnulty Collection

This picture forms part of a fine collection of works that we have for sale which were compiled around 1832 by a Mary McAnulty. The collection of works as a whole exemplifies the artistic tastes of early 19th-century England, including a number of interesting marine works, fine botanical subjects, picturesque miniatures, Continental and Scottish landscapes, and elegant portraits. Highlights include an intriguing Le Havre subject from the circle of Richard Parkes Bonington, a Folkestone view after Luke Clennell, and a fascinating Continental depiction of jigging puppets or 'Marionnettes à la planchette'. Many of the works are on wove paper watermarked John Hall 1832 and one is by Mary McAnulty herself. A batch of manuscript writing being sold along with the collection indicates a Leeds location associated with the collection.
