Xavier Ironside (Tennessee, 1936-2011) watercolor on cardstock depicting a detailed Victorian architectural corner element. Pencil signed and dated '78 lower right. Unframed. Image: 17" H x 21 3/4" W. Cardstock: 21" H x 25 1/2" W. Biographical Note: Xavier Ironside was born in England. When he was four years old, his mother was killed in a German bombing of the hospital where she worked as a nurse, and Ironside''s uncle brought him to Knoxville, TN. He went back to England for a while to study at the Royal Academy of Art but ultimately settled in Knoxville to work as an artist and raise a family. His work gained national attention when Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee gave an interview to Esquire Magazine mentioning Ironside''s work. (Source: Betsey Creekmore, University of Tennessee). Ironside is best known for his landscapes, rendered in a style that has drawn comparisons to that of Andrew Wyeth.

Overall very good condition, with pinhole punctures and oxidation from removed staples along lower edge.
