JOSEPH ARTHUR PALLISER SEVERN (ROME 1842-1931 LONDON)
Severn was the younger son of the painter Joseph Severn (1793-1879), who was a close friend of John Keats (1795-1821) in Rome. He exhibited landscape watercolours of both Italy and Britain, and in 1871 married Joan Agnew, a cousin of John Ruskin. When Ruskin moved to Brantwood, Lake District that year, the Severns accompanied him and remained part of his household until his death. Arthur Severn's recollections of Ruskin were published in 1967, edited by James Dearden.

The sheet is laid down onto a supporting sheet of paper, which is hinged into a non-acidic mount. There are some slight losses to the extreme edges of the sheet, particularly the upper margin (overmounted). There is some slight discolouration to the sheet throughout, particularly to the edges, but the colours are good and the sheet reads well.
