Description

Robert Jobling (1841-1923) was born in Newcastle and worked in the shipyards before becoming a full-time artist. As a member of the Cullercoats colony of artists and later the Staithes Group he painted North East England coastal life, its people, landscapes and seascapes. Much of Jobling's Staithes Group period work shows the influence of the American artist Winslow Homer in terms of subject matter and compositions which Jobling would have seen when they were both painting in Cullercoats. Jobling interprets this in style of his own. Jobling exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1883. His life and work are featured in the Staithes Group Centenary Catalogue and his work is in good public and private collections.

"Cowbar Nab, Yorkshire" is a good large example showing a view at Staithes on the Yorkshire Coast. Measuring 28" x 36" it is in good original condition and is framed in a period gilt frame giving an overall size of 40"x 48". It is signed lower right and has some nice old labels on the back, one for the Academy of Arts, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Date of Manufacture

McTague of Harrogate has dated this Robert Jobling Oil Painting to the 1900s.

FAQs

This genre is characterised by loose brushwork, plein air observation, and a focus on capturing transient effects of light and weather on the sea.

Authentic period works typically utilise oil paints ground from mineral and organic pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, often housed in gesso and wood frames.

Authentication involves examining the canvas weave, inspecting pigment ageing under magnification, verifying artist signatures, and checking for stretcher marks and exhibition labels.

Pairing traditional marine art with neutral walls and minimalist lighting creates a sophisticated focal point that bridges classic and contemporary design.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity and temperature levels, and consult a professional conservator for periodic cleaning.
