watercolour
View of Whitby Harbour with the abbey beyond,

14 x 20.5in.
Estimate £4,000-6,000

A particularly handsome example of Weatherill's work, watercolour on paper showing slight undulation towards the bottom of the work, very little sign of any fading, great variety and strength of colour, one or two tiny dirt specks on the work, some of which are on the glass rather than the work itself, probably one or two minute fox marks but overall very good original condition. Inscribed signature and dated lower left, housed in an old card mount which is now looking rather tatty and an old vine engraved gilt frame, no labels or inscriptions verso.
