Property from the Estate of the late Alys Rickett

William Turner, of Oxford, O.W.S.

Blackbourton, Oxfordshire 1789 - 1862 Oxford

Oxford from Shotover Hill


Watercolour and bodycolour on blue paper

272 by 438 mm

Ronald John Rickett (d. 1970),
by family descent to the present owners
We are grateful to Colin Harrison for pointing out that the Ashmolean Museum holds a watercolour by John Baptist Malchair (circa 1730-1812), which is dated 1791 and depicts Oxford from the same view-point. Like William Turner, Malchair was an Oxford-based artist.1

The present work has descended in the family of Ronald John Rickett, known as John, who was a director of British Pictures at Sotheby’s in the 1960s.
