Philip Osment was a painter of marine, coastal and landscape scenes in watercolour who apparently lived in Liverpool. He does not appeared to have exhibited so most of his paintings are still found in that area. His scenes are often of Welsh views as in the example above - this shows Llyyn Idwal and the Devil's Kitchen which is at the head of the Ogwen pass in Snowdonia.

It seems that he was quite a prolific artist but became an alcoholic in later life, when the quality of his paintings declined. The above is therefore probably an earlier example from his painting career which seems to have stretched from about 1900 to 1930.
