Condition/Notes : The watercolour on paper study is in very good condition with good colour and no marking or damage. The study depicts the west side of Whitby Harbour Bridge (1835-1908) with figures and a passing River Esk barge; this bridge was replaced by the current swing bridge in 1909. The painting is signed K. Hall in the lower lh corner; no visible inscription. The cream coloured multi-lined mount board is in good condition with no marking or damage. The gilt wooden frame is likewise in good condition with light scuffing to the edges. Wooden plywood backing board is nailed to the frame and sealed with gummed tape; inscribed River Scene. K. Hall 8-1/4" x 13-1/8", No. 21 upper lh corner, £40.- and another small label No. 21.

An interesting historical painting of this ever popular scene. Similar studies of this bridge have been painted by Elias Bancroft, A.H. Morgan and Lionel Townsend Crawshaw in the early 1900's but this is unusual in depicting the western side of the bridge looking north.
