Circle of Francis Towne (British 1739-1816) A collection of five landscapes including, a West Country view with cattle, inscribed and dated Mr Towne 1792 verso, and Watcomb Cove near Torbay, inscribed with title and dated 1791 verso, both by a pupil of Francis Towne; A Swiss View, inscribed and dated Mr Smith 1792, and A view of the house, probably of Mr Martinelli, North of Rome, the first after John Warwick Smith and a Rocky landscape with a waterfall by another hand, inscribed From Mr Smith, verso each watercolour various sizes All unframed (5) The West Country view with cattle is by a pupil of Francis Towne. The colouring may have been enhanced by Towne himself, who, as a drawing master often helped his pupils. The view of Watcomb Cove near Torbay is also by a pupil of Towne. Both works will be included in the forthcoming update of the Towne catalogue raisonné by Richard Stephens. The view of a house North of Rome, resembles the house of Mr Martinelli who hosted a number of English artists who stayed there in the 1770's. We are grateful to Richard Stephens for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
