Watercolour and body colour, signed with monogram
1844-1891.
Charles Robertson was a technically accomplished and well travelled watercolourist, better known for his exotic Middle Eastern and Oriental subjects, which he depicted in a manner reminiscent of John Frederick Lewis, with bright, jewel-like colours. The same sensitivity to light and colour are here applied to the picturesque harbour at Clovelly, which became a well-known artists’ colony in the late 19th Century.
