About the Item

‘Llyn Idwal, North Wales’ by Sidney Richard Percy (1822-1886). The painting – which depicts cattle watering at the edge of the famous lake in Snowdonia – is signed by the artist and dated 1885. ‘Llyn Idwal, North Wales’ was the final painting of Sidney Richard Percy’s to have been exhibited at the Royal Academy. It is presented in a fine quality, bespoke gold metal leaf frame. Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age, having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. Clients should also note that tracked and signed for international shipping is complimentary. Sidney Richard Percy was the fifth – and most gifted – son of the English landscape painter Edward Williams (1781-1855), one of the most famous families in British art history. Just as his elder brothers Henry John Boddington (1811-1865) and Arthur Gilbert (1819-1895) had done, Sidney Williams changed his name in order to distinguish himself from the other members of the Williams family. Between 1842 and 1886 Percy exhibited at all the leading Victorian art venues showing 76 paintings at the Royal Academy, 48 at the British Institution, and 73 with the Royal Society of British Artists at the Suffolk Street Gallery.

  • "A River Landscape with Wild Horses", Victorian original, oil on canvas
    By John Frederick Herring Jr
    Located in Nutfield, Surrey
    This is an original unique oil painting by the artist. Born into an artistic family in Doncaster, England during 1820. Best known for his equine art, of the same character as those of the elder Herring, including "The Home Farm," "The Homestead," "The Farm-Yard," etc.John F.

In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature.
