Description:
This signed 1948 watercolour by Edward E. Jacobs captures an idyllic English cricket match, set against the backdrop of Chichester Cathedral. The work highlights a quintessentially British summer pastime within a recognisable Sussex setting. Jacobs’ use of light and colour brings atmosphere to both the sporting scene and the architectural landmark.
Though the work shows age-related foxing, it remains a charming and evocative mid-20th-century watercolour. Collectors of sporting art, Sussex landscapes, or traditional English watercolours will find this an attractive and historically grounded piece.
