It was drawn from life at the Regents Park Zoo shortly after Griset had come to London. |

| A
splendid watercolour of Chamois Shooters in the Tyrol. Painted c.1814,
it is unsigned but has very strong clues to the fact that it is by
Samuel Howitt. The animals are very stylised and the treatment of
the figures also help to point to him. In good clean condition. There
is a pair to this at the same price, entitled "Ascending
the rocks". It was bought at Sothebys in London in the mid 1990's. |
