1850
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Pittenweem, Fife is a 1850 watercolor by Samuel Bough, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a small coastal town with a rocky shoreline. Boats sit in the water near the dock, and a few people stand or walk along the rocks. The buildings are clustered together, with a tall church tower rising above them. The sky is cloudy, and the sea looks choppy. The artist focused on the daily life of the harbor, with simple shapes and soft colors. The signature in the corner reads "Samuel Bough." Look up Samuel Bough to see more of his coastal scenes.
