The composition centres on two men engaged in a duel, their postures dynamic and focused. They are surrounded by a group of observers, whose varied reactions and relaxed stances suggest an informal, perhaps academic or club-based setting. The artist employs a light, fluid line, characteristic of his illustrative style, which prioritises narrative clarity over rigid anatomical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell was known for his keen observation of social manners and the daily lives of his contemporaries. His use of watercolour here is restrained, applying washes to define the figures and the interior space without overwhelming the underlying ink drawing. The word 'PELHAM' is inscribed on the floor, likely a reference to the literary character from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel, which was a significant cultural touchstone during the period. This inclusion suggests the scene may be a direct illustration of a specific narrative moment or a thematic homage to the dandyism and social codes of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is rendered with minimal detail, allowing the viewer to focus on the interaction between the participants. The palette consists of muted earth tones, typical of mid-nineteenth-century works on paper. The figures are dressed in the attire of the time, including waistcoats and trousers, providing a clear window into the sartorial habits of the Dutch middle and upper classes. This piece offers a glimpse into the social rituals of the nineteenth century, presented with the artist's characteristic wit and observational skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bridge-red-roofs-and-old-tower-pisa-joseph-lindon-smith\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBridge, Red Roofs and Old Tower, Pisa - Joseph Lindon Smith — Joseph Lindon Smith\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-ernst-willem-jan-bagelaar\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait - Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar — Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Ver Huell","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598950994255,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598955024719,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598955057487,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598955090255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598955123023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598955155791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598955188559,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598955221327,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598955254095,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598955286863,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598955319631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598955352399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zwaardgevecht-tussen-twee-mannen_Poster_CompositorV1_1788008531705.jpg?v=1788008832"},{"product_id":"vier-mannen-met-zwaarden-in-een-rotsachtig-landschap-alexander-ver-huell","title":"Vier mannen met zwaarden in een rotsachtig landschap - Alexander Ver Huell","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed watercolour and ink illustration by Alexander Ver Huell, depicting four figures in historical dress within a rocky setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Alexander Ver Huell depicts a scene featuring four figures dressed in period attire, each carrying a sword. The composition is set against a backdrop of large, barren rock formations, suggesting a remote or dramatic location. The figures are rendered with a focus on their historical costume, including breeches, doublets, and feathered hats, which evoke a sense of seventeenth-century fashion. Ver Huell employs a delicate application of watercolour, allowing the underlying ink lines to define the forms and gestures of the men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist, known for his contributions to Dutch illustration and his interest in historical subjects, captures a moment of interaction between the group. One figure gestures towards another, while a third adjusts a cloak, creating a narrative tension within the scene. The muted colour palette, dominated by soft earth tones and pale washes, maintains a focus on the characterisation of the figures rather than atmospheric effects. The rocky environment is suggested through minimal shading and light contouring, which keeps the attention on the central group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell often produced works that leaned into the literary and historical interests of his time. This piece reflects his technical proficiency in combining ink drawing with light watercolour washes, a common practice for illustrators of the nineteenth century. The work functions as a character study, prioritising the posture and clothing of the subjects to convey a specific historical mood. By placing these figures in a stark, unadorned setting, the artist isolates the narrative action, inviting the viewer to consider the potential story behind the encounter.

The composition relies on a delicate balance between the standing male figure, dressed in period attire with a walking stick, and the seated female figure who holds a small bouquet of flowers. The artist employs a light touch with watercolour, allowing the underlying ink lines to define the forms and textures of the clothing and the surrounding terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell, known for his illustrative work and keen observation of social interactions, brings a sense of intimacy to this scene. The inclusion of handwritten French text in the upper right corner adds a literary dimension to the image, suggesting a specific narrative context or a personal dedication.

The primary figure is a man dressed in historical attire, reminiscent of seventeenth-century fashion, complete with a feathered cap, doublet, and cloak. His posture is theatrical, suggesting a role from a stage production or a literary narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the central figure, Ver Huell has sketched the head of a woman wearing a headscarf. Her expression is direct, providing a contrast to the more stylised, performative nature of the man below. To the right, a smaller, full-length figure of a soldier in nineteenth-century uniform stands in profile, holding a rifle. This juxtaposition of historical costume with a contemporary military figure suggests the artist was exploring different modes of dress and character types within a single sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell was a Dutch illustrator known for his ability to capture personality and movement through economical lines.

The composition focuses on the solitary figure of Christ, who stands upright amidst turbulent, stylised waves. His left arm is extended, gesturing towards a small boat containing the disciples, which appears in the distance on the right side of the frame.

The waves are rendered with rhythmic, sweeping strokes that create a sense of motion, contrasting with the calm, vertical posture of the central figure.

Ver Huell, a Dutch artist known for his observational sketches and illustrations, employs a fluid, calligraphic line to document the daily life of the mid-nineteenth century.

The composition focuses on a group of figures, with a wounded soldier supported by his companions. The central figure, clad in partial armour, leans heavily on a younger man, while others stand in attendance. The artist employs a delicate pen and ink technique, using cross-hatching to define the forms of the armour and the folds of the period clothing.

The central element is a delicate, ethereal portrait of a young woman, rendered with soft facial features and a contemplative expression. Surrounding this focal figure are several smaller, more robust sketches depicting various male figures in motion or action. These peripheral studies include men carrying heavy sacks, a figure peering over a ledge, and a man walking with an umbrella, all captured with quick, expressive strokes of ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell, a Dutch artist known for his illustrative work and keen observation of social types, employs a light wash of watercolour to provide subtle depth to the figures. The contrast between the central portrait and the surrounding vignettes suggests a narrative quality, common in the artist's practice of documenting everyday life and character types. The lines are thin and agile, reflecting the spontaneous nature of a sketchbook entry rather than a formal, finished painting. The composition is non-linear, allowing the viewer to observe the individual studies as separate moments captured in time. This work provides insight into the artist's process, showing how he balanced the depiction of delicate portraiture with the more rugged, gestural representation of the human form in various states of activity. The muted palette and the focus on line work are characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century European illustrative traditions, where the artist's hand remains visible through the ink marks. The arrangement creates a sense of movement around the static, central portrait, inviting the viewer to examine the individual character studies that populate the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-body-of-elaine-on-its-way-to-king-arthurs-palace-gustave-dore\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Body of Elaine on Its Way to King Arthur's Palace - Gustave Doré — Gustave Doré\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jonge-man-op-klompen-young-man-in-clogs-jan-weissenbruch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJonge man op klompen (Young Man in Clogs) - Jan Weissenbruch — Jan Weissenbruch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Ver Huell","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599390937423,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599392510287,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599392543055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599392575823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599392608591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599392641359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599392674127,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599392706895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599392739663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599392772431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599392805199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599392837967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Figuurstudies_Poster_CompositorV1_1788016435457.jpg?v=1788016778"},{"product_id":"karikaturale-figuur-met-een-bolhoed-alexander-ver-huell","title":"Karikaturale figuur met een bolhoed - Alexander Ver Huell","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century caricature by Alexander Ver Huell, featuring a dapper figure in a top hat rendered with ink and watercolour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexander Ver Huell, a Dutch artist known for his observational wit and illustrative skill, produced this caricature during the mid-nineteenth century. The work depicts a male figure in a top hat, rendered with the exaggerated features typical of the period's satirical tradition. The subject stands in a jaunty pose, hands pulling at his waistcoat, with a wide, toothy grin that suggests a theatrical or perhaps roguish character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell employs a fluid, calligraphic line to define the figure, using ink to establish the contours of the clothing and the unruly hair. The application of watercolour is restrained, providing subtle tones to the waistcoat and trousers while leaving the paper ground to act as a neutral backdrop. The artist demonstrates a keen eye for social types, capturing the sartorial details of the era, such as the high-crowned hat and the formal cut of the jacket, while distorting the proportions to create a humorous effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the broader European interest in physiognomy and social satire that flourished in the nineteenth century. Ver Huell often drew inspiration from daily life, translating the peculiarities of his contemporaries into visual narratives. The presence of Greek script near the figure adds an enigmatic layer to the composition, hinting at the artist's classical education or perhaps a specific literary reference intended for his audience. The drawing remains a clear example of the artist's ability to combine technical precision with a lighthearted, observational approach to portraiture. It provides a glimpse into the social atmosphere of the time, where such sketches were frequently shared among circles of friends or published in illustrated periodicals to comment on contemporary manners and fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-body-of-elaine-on-its-way-to-king-arthurs-palace-gustave-dore\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Body of Elaine on Its Way to King Arthur's Palace - Gustave Doré — Gustave Doré\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jonge-man-op-klompen-young-man-in-clogs-jan-weissenbruch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJonge man op klompen (Young Man in Clogs) - Jan Weissenbruch — Jan Weissenbruch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Ver Huell","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599391297871,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599400210767,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599400243535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599400276303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599400309071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599400341839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599400374607,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599400407375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599400440143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599400472911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599400505679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599400538447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Karikaturale-figuur-met-een-bolhoed_Poster_CompositorV1_1788016631764.jpg?v=1788016789"},{"product_id":"koffiebijeenkomst-in-een-interieur-alexander-ver-huell","title":"Koffiebijeenkomst in een interieur - Alexander Ver Huell","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour and ink study by Alexander Ver Huell, capturing a social gathering of the Dutch bourgeoisie in a mid-nineteenth-century interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Alexander Ver Huell captures a social scene typical of the nineteenth-century Dutch bourgeoisie. The composition depicts a group of figures gathered in a domestic interior, engaged in the ritual of coffee consumption. Ver Huell, known for his keen observation of social manners and class distinctions, employs a light, sketch-like technique that prioritises the characterisation of his subjects over rigid formal precision. The figures are dressed in the fashions of the mid-nineteenth century, with women in voluminous skirts and men in formal tailcoats, reflecting the social codes of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist uses delicate ink lines to define the forms, supplemented by soft washes of watercolour that provide subtle colour to the garments and the surrounding room. The setting is sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the interactions between the individuals. One man stands in the foreground, gesturing towards a seated gentleman, while others converse in small groups. The scene conveys a sense of quiet activity, characteristic of the genre works produced by Ver Huell during his career. His ability to render the nuances of posture and expression allows the viewer to observe the social dynamics at play within this private gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a draughtsman, Ver Huell often documented the daily lives of the upper-middle class with a touch of gentle irony. This piece is representative of his interest in the domestic sphere, where the seemingly mundane act of drinking coffee becomes a stage for social performance. The work remains a document of its time, offering insight into the interior spaces and social habits of the Dutch elite during the Victorian period.

The scene depicts two figures on a desolate, uneven terrain: an older, bearded man in a hat examines a sword he has unearthed, while a younger man stands nearby in an open pit, leaning on a spade. The presence of human remains, including skulls and bones scattered near the foreground, identifies the location as an ancient battlefield. In the distance, the faint silhouette of a castle or fortified structure provides a sense of place and historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVer Huell, known for his illustrative work and keen observation of human character, employs a delicate line quality here. The ink outlines define the figures and the scattered relics, while the watercolour washes provide subtle tonal depth to the earth and the distant horizon. The composition is balanced, with the verticality of the standing man and the spade contrasting against the horizontal spread of the battlefield. The artist uses a muted palette, dominated by earthy browns, soft ochres, and pale blues, which reinforces the somber, reflective nature of the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the nineteenth-century fascination with archaeology and the remnants of past conflicts. Rather than focusing on the glory of battle, the artist chooses a quiet, post-historical moment. The interaction between the two figures suggests a narrative of labour and curiosity, as the past is literally dug up from the soil. The work is characteristic of Ver Huell's ability to blend observational detail with a sense of storytelling, often found in his sketchbooks and illustrative projects. The piece remains a fine example of mid-nineteenth-century Dutch drawing, demonstrating a technical proficiency in combining ink draughtsmanship with atmospheric colour application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hyde-park-john-martin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHyde Park - John Martin — John Martin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bridge-red-roofs-and-old-tower-pisa-joseph-lindon-smith\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBridge, Red Roofs and Old Tower, Pisa - Joseph Lindon Smith — Joseph Lindon Smith\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Ver Huell","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599747551567,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599764459855,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599764492623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599764525391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599764558159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599764590927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599764623695,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599764656463,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599764689231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599764721999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599764754767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599764787535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Man-Excavating-a-Sword-on-an-Old-Battlefield_Poster_CompositorV1_1788020412721.jpg?v=1788020817"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/alexander-ver-huell.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
