A charming and atmospheric watercolour depicting Woolbrook Glen, Sidmouth, a well-known and picturesque spot on the Devon coast.
The composition shows a tented pavilion with surrounding buildings and a Union flag, capturing a distinctly English seaside scene with a gentle, nostalgic quality. Executed in soft, muted tones, the painting has a light, airy handling typical of mid-20th century watercolours and works beautifully as a decorative piece.
To the reverse is a period label reading “Page 35 – Woolbrook Glen, Sidmouth”, along with a handwritten date that appears to read ’45, likely indicating 1945. The reference to a page number suggests the work may have originated from a sketchbook or series, adding an appealing sense of context.
Presented in a glazed frame with a soft-toned mount, ready to hang.
Condition:
Good vintage condition. The watercolour displays well. Minor age-related wear to the frame and mount, and some discolouration to the label on the reverse, as shown.
