James Walter Gozzard

James Walter Gozzard (1861-1926), aka JW Gozzard, was a prolific British genre and figure painter. Artnet stated that he is “best known for his charming depictions in watercolor and oils of quaint scenes of the English countryside and villages.” Invaluable, an online marketplace for fine art, antiques and collectibles, stated that Gozzard “also painted Italian scenes such as Evening Mists, Venice.” His paintings, especially A September Morning, A Misty Morning and Evening on the Canal, convey a feeling of tranquility. Gozzard “favored simple landscapes, often with depictions of people going about their daily routines.”
