Img.Sz.50x75cm Fr.Sz.59x85cm (19.69x29.53 in , 1.64x2.46 ft | 23.23x33.46 in , 1.94x2.79 ft),Original 1897 watercolour on paper Merchants Entering the Harbour, hand-signed and dated 1897 lower right of the composition. Source: European Gallery A native artist of Worthing, Sussex, England, he ranks among Britain's most accomplished marine watercolourists of the late 19th century. In his early career, he focused on plein air depictions of coastlines, fishing boats and trading harbour vessels. He travelled to the Netherlands and Venice, yet his primary body of work centres on ports of Southern England and merchant shipping scenes across the English Channel. He exhibited dozens of marine works at the Royal Academy (RA), the New Watercolour Society and Suffolk Street Galleries, with his pieces held in public regional art collections across the United Kingdom.
