Description

Known for his rural landscape studies this wonderful watercolour by John Wilton Adcock depicts a delightful beach scene, with fisherfolk bringing in their catch. This expansive seascape is highly typical of Adock's style, as he made many trips to Cornwall to study the landscape and people of the area. With areas of white gouache used to expressively depict the lightly clouded sky. Presented in a gold card mount. Signed. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and areas of foxing. There has been an area of restoration to the lower left corner, just above the signature. Surface abrasions are visible to the centre of the image, below the sailing ship. The mount also has an area of overpainting to the lower left area.
