Attributions / Conjectures
Through a mis-transcription of the inscription on the reverse of the watercolour, this work has been wrongly said to have belonged to Daniel Berry.
David Berry was a client of solicitor Dr James Norton. The artist of the watercolour remains unidentified. It bears some similarity to the work of Edward Close: see PXE 868 in this catalogue.
