Watercolour over pencil 11 1/2 x 16 1/2 in ( 29.2 x 42 cm ) Signed and dated 1857 lower right

Marine watercolours from both the Joy Brother's have been neglected in recent years. Their pictures are usually beautifully observed and display a wonderful light, giving us an private insight into our maritime heritage. This is a very fine and large example of the artist work. It is unusually fully signed and dated 1857 and is in perfect condition. Viewing recommended. John Spink
