Lot Essay

This watercolour of shipping in Falmouth harbour on a grey day has been painted from a distance, probably from the shore in front of Tuke's cottage at Pennance Point, Swanpool on the coast of Falmouth. His home gave him a great vantage point to see all the ships moored in the Carrick Roads waiting for orders.

We are grateful to Catherine Wallace for her assistance in preparing the cataloguing entries for lots 101-105.
