Description

This early 20th-century watercolour by English artist Henry Robertson (1848-1930) depicts the beach at Hastings.

Nets sprawl from a dormant fishing boat before dapples of beachfront buildings. The misty tints of cliffs punctuated by masts. Robertson loved it here and lived just a few minutes up the road. He often pitched up on the sand to capture the view at different times of the day. Here, we see him working quickly with an impressionistic spirit before the light changes.

Held within a later frame and glazed.

Overall size: 27½” x 18” / 70cm x 46cm

Year of creation: c. 1910

FAQs

The British watercolour tradition developed significantly from the 18th to the early 20th century, characterised by transparent washes, atmospheric depictions of light, and a focus on natural landscapes and coastal scenes.

Traditional watercolours were created using finely ground pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder applied to handmade rag paper or watercolour board, often framed behind glass with acidic or neutral mount boards.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the paper stock, watermark analysis, pigment composition under magnification, artist signatures or monograms, and historical framing techniques.

Antique works on paper add historical depth to contemporary spaces when framed with conservation-grade materials and displayed away from direct sunlight to prevent pigment degradation.

Watercolours require strict environmental controls, including low lux levels of illumination, stable relative humidity around 45 to 55 percent, and UV-filtering glazing to protect fugitive pigments from fading.
