Antique Watercolour "A Tidal River" Holywell Dene Seaton Sluice

A charming and atmospheric antique watercolour depicting a tidal river scene at Holywell Dene, Seaton Sluice, Northumberland. The composition shows a wide river at low tide flanked by whitewashed cottages with ochre rooftops, figures going about their business on the bank, and a sweeping sky of billowing clouds above bare autumnal trees. The work is presented in its original gilt frame with a fine multi-line mount, consistent with quality period presentation. The reverse bears a handwritten label identifying the title as "A Tidal River — Holywell Dene, Seaton Sluice", along with a gallery label from MacDonald Fine Art, Gosforth, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne — a well-regarded North East gallery — confirming the work's provenance. The painting appears to be signed lower left. A beautifully observed and executed piece capturing the quiet character of the Northumberland coast, typical of the strong regional watercolour tradition of the late 19th to early 20th century. Dimensions: 56 x 3 x 40 cm.
