John Joseph Cotman - Hallsands, Devon
Est: £200 - £400
John Joseph Cotman, British 1814-1878 Hallsands, Devon; pencil, watercolour, and bodycolour on paper, signed, dated, and inscribed 'Cotman Xmas 1872' (lower left), inscribed 'Hallsand [sic.] Devon / nr Sart [?] Point' (lower right), 36 x 54 cm. Provenance: with Heather Newman Gallery, Gloucestershire. Private Collection, UK. Note: John Joseph Cotman was part of the Cotman artistic dynasty, as the son of John Sell Cotman (1782-1842), and younger brother of Miles Edmund Cotman (1810-1858). The subject of the present work is particularly compelling, depicting the fishing village of Hallsands in Devon in the 1870s, before the dredging of shingle from the coast between Hallsands and neighbouring Beesands led to the eventual complete destruction of the village, which collapsed into the sea in 1917. The setting therefore offers a fascinating glimpse into a community which appears to be thriving, with the beach occupied by a number of figures and the masts of fishing vessels, just before its imminent ruin. The present scene is also somewhat unusual for an artist from the Cotman family, who are typically associated with their views of Norwich and the surrounding area.

Est: £300 - £500
John Joseph Cotman (British, Norwich School, 1814-1878) River landscape with fisherman and swans watercolour over pencil, signed lower right and dated 1875 12 1/2 x 23in. (32 x 58.5cm.) * Provenance: Mandells Gallery, Norwich, Norfolk ** Condition: Paper browned throughout and very mellow colours overall. Fox mark to centre right of sky and three or four small pale spots to sky (possible old restoration of foxing). There is an area of sky, (approx. 2in. wide and stretching vertically from the top margin to just above the sparsely leafed tree on the right hand side of the image), which lacks any blue and is slightly paler than the remainder of that side of the sky. We are not sure, but this may be evidence of some very old restoration in this area. There is a small spotted retouch to the centre of the bottom margin. In a modern gilt frame with lined mount and conservation glass. Unexamined out of frame.
