A highly accomplished watercolour showing coastal cliffs with crashing waves and wheeling gulls. The artist shows great skill with the medium through the use of the paper colour in place of white paint and the crisp lines of the cliffs against the water. This finely composed painting has been signed by the artist in the bottom left corner.
The painting is presented in a glazed, gilt oak frame with a gilt inner window.
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is some undulation to the paper. The frame is in fine condition with a few surface scuffs.
