Title: The Peace of an Empty Place - original signed watercolour with some gouache, framed

Description: Charles Duranty (1918-2006) was a landscape painter in watercolour, born in Romford, Essex.  He exhibited at many of the leading London galleries, including Roland, Browse & Delbanco; Mercury Gallery; Zwemmer Gallery; and had one man shows at the Leicester Galleries 1969, New Grafton Gallery 1970, and the Thackeray Gallery from 1971.  His obituary in The Guardian noted that his pictures 'were always imaginary East Anglian landscapes, with huge fields and somewhere a tiny animal, traction engine or human figure to give the picture a focus and, quite often, its title'. His work is held in the Government Art Collection and in provincial art galleries, and Charles Duranty lived near Guildford in Surrey.

The present work is an original watercolour with gouache measuring about 5 x 17 inches image size and about 11.7 x 23.5 inches in its original frame.  The painting is signed lower right and has the labels of both The Thackeray Gallery of London W8 and the artist verso. Both the watercolour and the frame are in excellent condition...
