Very good original untouched colour and condition
Albert George Stevens watercolour of Whitby’s Lower Harbour and Swing Bridge, signed and measuring 29cm x 44cm. A work by a Staithes Group artist, it depicts the harbour and its distinctive swing bridge.
The vendor reports that the painting has never previously been on the market. Their husband’s great-grandfather owned Johnsons Butchers on Church Street, Whitby, where Stevens sometimes exchanged paintings for meat. A similar collection of Stevens’ works was sold by Duggleby Auctioneers in March 2022. This signed Whitby harbour watercolour is offered for sale at auction.
