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.
