EDWARD WESSON R.I., R.B.A., R.S.M.A. (British, 1910-1983)
Westminster from Lambeth Bridge
Description:
A charming and characteristic watercolour by the highly regarded British landscape and marine artist Edward Wesson.
This scene depicts a classic London vista, "Westminster from Lambeth Bridge," capturing the grandeur of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) across the River Thames.
Wesson's signature fluid style, evident in the expressive washes of colour and confident brushwork, brings to life the atmospheric light and reflections on the water, with a barge or boat adding a touch of everyday activity to the foreground.
Wesson's ability to evoke mood and place with remarkable economy of detail has made him one of the most admired watercolourists of his generation, and this piece exemplifies his enduring appeal.
Medium: Watercolour on paper
