Clifford O’Troll Watercolour, Across to Walberswick
This framed watercolour, titled Across to Walberswick, is attributed to Clifford O’Troll. It offers a view across open water towards the distant village of Walberswick on the Suffolk coast. The title is handwritten on a label affixed to the reverse of the frame.
Style, Frame and Notable Features
The composition is landscape in its outlook, with a broad band of pale blue sky filled with soft, streaked cloud and a calm stretch of water in the foreground. A low line of reeds or marsh grass sits at the water’s edge, with a skyline of trees and a church tower rising in the middle distance. The artwork is presented in a gold-tone metal frame with a cream double mount, and it is held behind glazing.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The work is offered as found, with no restoration or repair noted in the description. The handwritten label on the reverse, which carries the title and a price in pencil, adds to its documentary interest for a buyer researching the piece. Coastal and East Anglian views such as this, depicting Walberswick, are of ongoing appeal to collectors of British landscape watercolours. Prospective buyers are encouraged to view the piece in person before bidding.
