Henry Barlow Carter, British 1803-1867- Brig... Lot 425

Henry Barlow Carter, British 1803-1867- Brig ashore outside Whitby Harbour; watercolour with scratching out on paper, signed 'H.B. CARTER' (lower right), 16.6 x 23.6 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Carter was a prolific watercolourist whose output consisted largely of marine scenes of the Yorkshire coast, where the artist lived for much of his career. The present view of a boat being thrown about on stormy seas in Whitby Harbour is typical of Carter, with a strikingly similar composition selling at Christie's, London, on 6 July 2021 (lot 89) for £1,100.
