Prescott Hewett made quiet, atmospheric watercolors of the English coast in the mid-1800s, focusing on shorelines and harbors where light met water. In the bundle you’ll find Newquay Bay, Cornwall, painted between about 1840 and 1890, where soft greys and blues capture the turning tide and distant cliffs.
