Lot 198: Iris Walker (1987), Kaye's Arms, Grange Moor, Mixed Media Landscape

This mixed media landscape on paper, incorporating watercolour, pastel, and charcoal, depicts the rural approach to the Kaye’s Arms at Grange Moor, West Yorkshire. The composition is executed in a muted tonalist style, capturing a damp, overcast atmosphere through soft blending in the sky and foreground, contrasted with defined, graphic charcoal work in the skeletal trees. The artwork is signed and dated “IRIS WALKER . 87” in the lower right corner. The piece is housed in a wide, light-brown window mount which is inscribed in ink at the lower right “KAYE’S ARMS, GRANGE MOOR.” It is presented in a simple polished wood frame. Two white adhesive lot stickers are present on the mount, marked “W” and “501.”.
