Available for sale from Big Sky Fine Art in the English county of Dorset, this original painting is by the Cornish artist Richard Harry Carter and dates from 1904 or possibly earlier.
The watercolour is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted using conservation materials and behind non-reflective Tru Vue UltraVue® UV70 glass.
This antique painting is in good condition, commensurate with its age. The paper is age toned and the colours are slightly faded which pleasantly adds to the atmospherics of the setting. Now mounted with conservation materials it wants for nothing and is ready to hang and display.
The watercolour is signed lower left.
Richard Harry C
...arter was an accomplished Cornish artist, noted particularly for his landscape and seascapes. Full biographical details can be found on his page at bigskyfineart.com
Carter’s earliest recorded works are from 1864 and are scenes of Cornwall and Scotland.
He married Ellen Dunn, who became a professor of music, at Truro in 1866 and they had at least three children. By 1884 the family was living in Falmouth, although they moved around the south-west.. By 1891 they had moved to London, although Carter continued to visit and work in Cornwall all his life, and indeed died there in Sennen on 7 February 1911, aged 71.
In 1891 Carter held an exhibition entitled ‘The Shetland Isles’ at Arthur Tooth and Sons Galleries in the Haymarket, London. He went on to exhibit at the 1895 Opening Exhibition at Newlyn and from also at Petersfield in Hampshire. Thereafter he exhibited at the Royal Academy and other leading galleries of the day. Carter was recognised at a talented artist and was a member of the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painters.
In July 1904 Carter set off with Walter Langley for Holland, where they spent a month at Volendam on the Zuider Zee. There they stayed with a flourishing colony of artists led by two younger members of the Hague School, Willy Sluiter and Albert Neuhuys.
A group of Carter’s representative paintings are held in the fine art collection of the Royal Cornwall Museum.
