Watercolour, Ladies by Seaside Bridge, Antique

Description

English School, Victorian Period (c. 1860–1880)

This charming Victorian watercolour depicts a tranquil English seaside landscape, with figures pausing beside a gently flowing rivulet as sailing boats drift across the water beyond a small stone bridge. Executed with a delicate, confident hand, the composition balances soft coastal light with earthy foreground tones, capturing the quiet poetry of Victorian leisure and travel. The artist’s sensitive handling of atmosphere and scale evokes the popular coastal sketching tradition of the mid-to-late 19th century.
Presented in a period oak frame, mounted and glazed, the work retains strong decorative and historical appeal.

The watercolour is in good antique condition, with light, even age toning consistent with works of this period. No visible tears or losses. Minor speckling and gentle softening of colour may be present, typical of Victorian watercolours. The mount and oak frame show light wear commensurate with age. Overall, the piece displays very well.

Size 45 cm x 35 cm
