## Early Watercolour by Christopher Philip Wills
This is an early watercolour painting by Christopher Philip Wills, depicting a group of mountaineers traversing a snowy landscape. The painting showcases Wills’ developing style, with expressive brushwork and a focus on capturing the drama of the mountainous terrain. The composition features figures in the foreground, seemingly struggling against the elements, with a dramatic peak dominating the background. The work is signed ‘Wills’ in the lower left corner.
## Condition and Collectibility
The watercolour is presented in its original frame, which shows signs of age and wear commensurate with its age. The watercolour itself shows some minor foxing and discolouration, typical of works on paper of this period. Despite these minor imperfections, the painting remains a charming and evocative example of early work by a British artist, and would be of interest to collectors of landscape paintings or works by regional artists.
