Description
A representational architectural study in watercolor on paper depicting The Falcon Inn, Chester. The composition focuses on the intricate timber-framing and gabled roofline of the historic building, with several small figures in the street added to provide scale. The work is presented in a gilded wood frame with a stepped, wash-line mount. The lower right corner of the painting is inscribed in black ink THE FALCON INN CHESTER and signed A Williams. On the wooden verso of the frame is a handwritten paper label reading No. 1. ALFRED WILLIAMS. L.R.I.B.A. FALCON INN. CHESTER ADDRESS. 15 CHEYNEY RD. CHESTER. The professional credentials indicate the artist was a Licentiate of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the address confirms his local residency in Chester.
