Sunset glow - Troodos, Cyprus

Stewart employed loose, expressive brushstrokes in this watercolour, achieving a sense of movement and energy. The blending of colours creates depth and a dreamy ambiance, typical of the medium's potential for subtlety and nuance.

After the artist's death, the work passed to his son, Lt.-Col. John Stewart. It was later sold through the Mathaf Gallery and Christie’s South Kensington in June 1981, eventually entering a private collection before being acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Now part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's global art collection, 'Sunset glow - Troodos, Cyprus' contributes to the institution's broad representation of international artistic practices.

While specific impact on the broader art historical canon is not detailed, the piece remains a notable example of Stewart's work and a testament to the enduring appeal of watercolour landscapes.
