E. T. Talbot
Erasmus’ Tower, Queens’ College Cambridge

Watercolour
35 x 21 cm
Signed, dated and inscribed to the reverse.

A richly-coloured watercolour painting of Erasmus’ Tower, Queens’ College Cambridge. Part of the Old Court of Queens’ College, dating back to the 16th century, Erasmus’ tower was named after the humanist and scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who lived in the college in the early 16th century. It remains a symbol of the college’s rich academic history and its connections to the Renaissance scholar.

Talbot expertly captures the charm of this medieval tower, using careful brushstrokes to depict the voluminous greenery.

Condition: Generally very good, mounted to board.
