The Davies sisters also collected works on paper. Their first recorded purchase of a work of art was of a watercolour in 1906. They acquired a large number of French drawings and watercolours including fine examples of the work of Cezanne, Daumier, Puvis de Chavannes, Signac and Pissarro. They also had a particular interest in Turner's watercolours, paying the large sum of £1,520 for a view of Wurzburg in 1919. They owned one Blake and a number of Welsh topographical views by the 'drawing man servant' Moses Griffith as well as 20th-century examples by Augustus John, Josef Herman, Oskar Kokoschka, Stanley Spencer, Percy Wyndham Lewis, Frank Brangwyn, Eric Gill and J D Innes.
