Shaw Hall, Lancashire, from the North East
Anthony Devis, 1767
This watercolour is one of the earliest known works signed and dated by the artist. It is a fine topographical study in full watercolour and is inscribed on the reverse in the artist's hand. It was clearly intended as a specific and accurate topographical record of Shaw Hall and its gardens, showing the hall, ancillary buildings, and (to the right of the group) the stables. Now only the stables remain.
