Very little is known of William Crouch's life however he is recognised for his romantic watercolour landscapes and views of historic architecture. He was quite prolific and appears to have travelled extensively as there are records for views in Italy, Switzerland and Germany as well as the West Country, Lake District and Wales.  His work was reproduced as engravings, for example a view of Leeds Castle published by Ackermanns in 1828 and a View in the Campagna which was published in the annual 'Friendship's Offerings' in 1841.  Examples of his work are held in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum, Lakelands Arts Trust and the Museum of New Zealand.  There are many auction records, often with the premier London auction houses, prices up to £1000. Gallery prices well in excess of that figure. This painting is of particular interest for it's good size and because of the full inscription and signature verso.
