Painting, oil painting, Whitehaven Harbour, Cumberland, about 1794.
Whitehaven harbour viewed from an elevated perspective with boatyard to left of composition, the harbour in the centre and a dock across the water. Jetties jut horizontally across composition. Above the houses of the town, which stand to left, horses graze in the fields on the steep hillside. The work is painted in a naive manner with discrepancies in scale and perspective.
This view of Whitehaven harbour includes the Old Quay, lighthouse and boatyard. It is painted in a naive style. some of the features in the picture are the wrong scale and the perspective is not correct.
