Alan Wickham - 1994 Watercolour Beach at Low Tide

Description

A fine evocative watercolour by the artist, designer and illustrator Alan C. Wickham, depicting an expansive beach at low tide, with figures and sailing boats. The artist is known to have depicted Brighton beach many times, and this is likely the setting. Delicate washes of colour provide contrast to minute details in this well-balanced composition. Well-presented in a painted wooden frame with linen liner and gilt beading, as shown. On watercolour paper.

Condition

In very good condition overall. There is some minor surface marks to the painted frame.
