#ThomasHolland (1795-1865) came from a family of painters/designers for pottery/porcelain. He was born in Burselm, Staffordshire. Thomas and his brother James were watercolourists producing decorative botanical studies for #WilliamDavenport in Longport.

This small, superbly executed watercolour certainly shows the delicate brushwork, wonderful colour palette, and adroitness that this artist uses to portray a real-life image. Although Thomas has been overshadowed by his younger brother, James, this work is confirmation of his great talent. A beautiful image.
