From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Crane at Littlehampton is a 1908 watercolor by Sir Charles John Holmes, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a crane at Littlehampton, a seaside town in England. The crane is positioned near a body of water, with its long arm stretching out over the water's edge. In the background, a few buildings and a bridge are visible, set against a hazy sky. The painting is rendered in muted colours, with the crane and surrounding structures depicted in shades of grey and brown. The water is a pale blue, and the sky above is a soft pinkish-grey. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the crane standing out as a focal point in the composition.
