Holding the Light

Sale price$400.00

Holding the Light is a luminous original watercolor by British artist Charles Eyres Simmons (1872–1955), celebrated for his quiet, atmospheric landscapes and masterful handling of light. Known for his refined technique and poetic restraint, Simmons captures a moment of profound stillness—where land, water, and reflection exist in perfect harmony.

Rendered in delicate washes of muted lavender, soft taupe, mossy green, and warm earth tones, the composition centers on a humble countryside cottage mirrored in calm water below. Bare trees rise gently against the sky, their reflections dissolving into the surface with a subtlety that speaks to Simmons’s extraordinary control of tone and mood. The scene feels timeless and contemplative, inviting the viewer to pause and linger.

Beautifully presented with a traditional French mat and custom handmade frame, this piece reflects both the craftsmanship of its era and the enduring appeal of fine European watercolor painting. Holding the Light is a rare and elegant work—ideal for collectors of British art, antique watercolors, and quietly powerful landscapes that transcend trends and time.
