R. J. S. Bertram "Whitby" Watercolour

1920 - 1940
Description

Robert John Scott Bertram was born in Newcastle in 1871. After a general education he worked as a designer in a furniture store where his talent for art was first recognised. He attended evening classes at the Durham College of Art in Newcastle and was so successful that he eventually became master of design at the then Armstrong College (later to become Kings College) and what is now Newcastle University. His outstanding abilities as a draftsman made him much sought after by publishers from his early 20's, his drawings were used for many publications including Northumberland County History, A Fishers Garland, Northumbrian Decameron, and numerous books by local authors. He also produced his own books including a set of 15 lithographs titled Old Newcastle published in 1908 by Mawson Swan and Morgan. He exhibited at the Bewick Club, Artists of Northern Counties at the Laing Gallery and sent work to the RA. Bertram was one of the Northumbria's oustanding draughtsman, painters and art teachers of the early 20th century. He moved to Whitby where he died in 1953. The present watercolour measures 9"x 14" and is mounted and framed giving an overall size of 16"x 22". It is signed lower right with a monogram and has a nice old label on the back with the title "Whitby from Blue Bank".

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

This period saw artists capturing regional scenery with fluid wash techniques, natural tones, and atmospheric perspective. Topographical detail combined with impressionistic handling of light and weather elements became central to the genre.

Artists typically painted on durable cotton-rag paper using natural pigment washes combined with gum arabic binders. These works were mounted onto board and protected beneath glass to prevent dirt accumulation and environmental damage.

Authentic works feature age-related paper toning, subtle hand-applied pigment transparency, and distinctive pencil or ink under-drawings. Original artist signatures and period framing backing paper also help establish authenticity.

Display the painting as part of a curated gallery wall or frame it with a simple contemporary mount to bridge traditional and modern tastes. Placing it above a console table or desk highlights the natural colour palette within the living space.

Position the artwork away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent pigment fading and paper distortion. Frame the piece using UV-blocking conservation glass and acid-free mounting boards for long-term protection.
