ANTIQUE #SA982007

Original Alfred Heaton Cooper - Lakeland Watercolour Painting.

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Vicky Thomas Antiques

Here is an atmospheric watercolour by the famous Lakeland watercolourist Alfred Heaton Cooper, signed and dated 1900, depicting a hazy sun rising in a pink blush over the distant hills as waterfowl drift in to settle on the water. In the foreground is a small island with a silver birch and other trees, and a headland showing the earthy colours of autumn - purple heathers and yellow ochres.
 
There is a real stillness to this painting, and you can almost hear the sound of the birds as they land on the water. Anyone who knows the Lake District will recognise the tranquility and beauty of a scene such as this.
 
The painting is mounted within an ivory surround in a gilt frame and measures 24cm by 17cm, and is 42cm by 33cm framed. The colours are clear, bright and vibrant, and as the images show, there is some light foxing to the sky.
 
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can offer any further information or any further images.
