A lovely still life watercolour by the watercolorist Gerald Ackermann. It is well executed and we particularly like the way the artist has caught the delicate nature of the sweet pea flowers and the light on the side of the jug. Good perspective and colours. Could easily be reframed to suit its surroundings if so needed. Gerald Ackermann RI 1876-1960 was born in 1876 at Blackheath, London. He was educated at New College, Eastborne and studied art at Heatherleys and later at the Royal Academy schools. It was here that he won the Creswick prize in 1900. He exhibited 6 paintings at the Royal Academy and at the Royal institute and was elected a member of the R.I. (The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1912). He was also awarded a Landseer Scholarship. Ackermann painted widely in Britain, but he had a special affection for Sussex and Norfolk and when he moved to Blakeney, the land and townscapes of this county became a prominent subject of his work.
