Summary
Watercolour on paper, Cotehele, Cornwall from the Norwh West by George Shepherd (c.1782-c.1830). perhaps painted in the late 1820s.
Provenance
Bought by the fundraising efforts of the property staff. A handwritten note dated 28/6 (no year) from Jeremy Pearson to Elisabeth Proudfoot reads "These photocopies do not do justice to the watercolours - by George Shepherd (£300) and Stockdale (£200). I think we should go for both of them - do you agree? Do you have any funds/fund-raising ideas for these charming pictures? I have written to H.Q. to see if they have any money available."
