About the Item

Title: Louie Wortley Blackberry Floral Jug Pitcher Still Life Pencil Drawing Artist: Louie Wortley, British 19th century Medium: pencil / graphite drawing on paper mounted on card, unframed Size: 11.25 x 9.75 height x width in inches Signature: signed / inscribed lower right, appears to read “Louie Wortley” Inscription: upper right inscribed “No 9” followed by indistinct initials or reference marks Stamped verso: no stamp visible from the images provided Provenance: private collection Condition: fair to good antique condition. The sheet shows age toning, foxing, handling marks, surface dirt, edge wear, small nicks and minor corner wear. There is visible discolouration to the outer margins and some age-related marking to the reverse. The drawing itself remains clear, detailed and decorative. Description: A finely detailed 19th century pencil still life drawing by Louie Wortley, depicting a decorative ceramic jug or pitcher adorned with a blackberry or bramble design. The vessel is shown in profile, with a curved handle, shaped rim and elegant botanical decoration across the body. The artist has carefully rendered the trailing leaves, berries and stems, creating a drawing that combines the appeal of still life, botanical study and decorative design. The work is especially attractive for its careful observation and delicate graphite handling. The rounded form of the jug is built up through soft tonal shading, with darker pencil work to the left side giving the vessel depth and weight. The blackberry leaves and clusters of berries are drawn with fine, precise lines, creating a pleasing contrast between the solid ceramic form and the natural botanical ornament. A simple shadow beneath the jug anchors the composition and gives the drawing a quiet, classical presence. The piece appears to be signed or inscribed lower right “Louie Wortley,” with an additional inscription upper right including “No 9” and further indistinct initials or reference marks. This suggests the work may have formed part of a numbered series, sketchbook, portfolio or drawing exercise. The subject matter has strong decorative appeal and would suit collectors of antique still life drawings, botanical art, ceramic studies, jug and pitcher artworks, Victorian drawings and traditional works on paper. There is visible age-related wear to the sheet, including toning, foxing, surface marks, handling wear and minor edge nicks, all consistent with an antique work on paper. Despite this, the central image remains clear and beautifully detailed. Unframed and ready for sympathetic mounting, this charming still life drawing would work particularly well in a kitchen, dining room, hallway, study or gallery wall of traditional drawings and botanical works.
