Description:
This rare signed watercolour by John Mortimer captures the serene atmosphere of a lake at sunset. The artist has employed delicate washes to depict the fading light, its golden reflection across the water, and the misty foliage on the banks. Mortimer’s work demonstrates an understated yet evocative handling of watercolour, with subtle tonal shifts that enhance the tranquillity of the composition. The piece is housed in its original period frame, adding to its charm and collectability. Created in West Sussex, United Kingdom, between 1925-1949, this one-of-a-kind piece is a testament to British culture and artistry, making it a valuable addition to any art collection.
