20th Century M. Crocker Watercolor Landscape of the Ring of Brodgar

£160.00
A 20th-century watercolor painting on paper depicting the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney, Scotland. 85cm W * 55cm H The Ring of Brodgar is a massive Neolithic henge and stone circle on Mainland Orkney, Scotland, built between 2500 and 2000 BC. Spanning 104 metres (341 feet) in diameter, it is the northernmost major stone circle in Britain and forms part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site. The work is executed in a broad, expressive style, utilizing wet-on-wet washes and dry brushwork to capture a dramatic sky over a moorland landscape. The Neolithic standing stones are highlighted in pale blue and white tones against a foreground of rich browns and purples. The painting is signed in black pigment to the lower right corner, reading M. Crocker. It is presented behind glass in a deep-molded dark wood frame with a wide cream-colored mount. The verso is sealed with brown backing paper and fitted with a white hanging cord.
