The street, better known as ‘The Royal Mile’, will be familiar to any tourist who has paid Edinburgh even the briefest of visits owing to its central location, historical significance and iconic architecture. Louise Rayner’s watercolour The Royal Mile, Edinburgh demonstrates how little the area has changed in around 175 years.Rayner was born in Derbyshire in 1832, but by the early 1840s her family had moved to London. The Rayners were an artistic family, with both parents and five of their daughters earning a living by their art. Louise first exhibited an oil at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1852 at the age of twenty, and by 1860 she had committed exclusively to watercolour painting as her medium of choice. Louise would accompany her brother Richard, an architect, as his profession took him around Britain, which is likely how the pair came to visit Edinburgh. The detail and subtle tone of Louise’s Edinburgh watercolours demonstrate her mastery of the notoriously unforgiving medium.

Louise Rayner, British 1832-1924 Barron's Woollen and Rag Store, The West Bow, Edinburgh; watercolour and bodycolour heightened with gum arabic and white on paper laid down on board, signed 'Louise Rayner.' (lower left), 40.8 x 30.6 cm. Provenance: with M. Newman, St James's, London.; Private Collection, UK, since 1962.; By descent. Note: This attractive four-storeyed house with its overhanging eaves was used by a number of 19th-century artists and photographers as the centrepiece of their depictions of the West Bow. The West Bow, a winding street leading uphill from the Grassmarket to the junction of Castle Hill and the Lawnmarket, was the only route of access to Edinburgh Castle from the south, until the building of the George IV Bridge in the early 19th century. Louise Rayner travelled around Britain during most summers in the 1870s and 1880s, using her journeys as inspiration. She was celebrated for her detailed watercolours of street scenes, such as the present work, in which the quaintly old-fashioned architecture is enlivened by the presence of foreground figures going about their everyday tasks. A watercolour of the same view sold recently at Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, 10 June 2021, lot 13 ( £11,250).
