JOHN VARLEY, O.W.S. (LONDON 1778-1842)
The east side of Caernarvon Castle, North Wales, seen from the south
Varley probably visited Caernarvon on his first tour through North Wales, although he didn't exhibit a picture of the castle itself until 1810. The traditional view of the castle is seen across the water from the south-west, a view depicted many times by Varley, but here he has chosen to show the less familiar entrance from the town. For a note on the artist, please see lot 43.

The sheet is not laid down but is tipped into a non-acidic supporting sheet and hinged into a non-acidic mount. There is some slight surface dirt and on close inspection some old restoration in the sky. There has been some slight fading to the more delicate pigments, but the sheet reads well.
