Anthony Avery
British Impressionist Watercolor of Highland Landscape, Stone Bridge and River

About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Highland Landscape, Stone Bridge and River by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 15.5 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: In this captivating watercolor, a rugged Highland landscape unfolds, capturing the beauty and drama of a remote valley. The painting draws the viewer's eye toward a small stone bridge, its arch gracefully spanning a lively river that rushes over smooth rocks in the foreground. The river, rendered in deep shades of blue and gray, contrasts against the pale, rocky banks, conveying the brisk, fresh atmosphere of the Highlands. Golden-brown hillsides flank the river, their earthy tones suggesting the sparse vegetation and wild terrain typical of such remote areas. To the right, a sloping hillside rises, bathed in a warm light that hints at the subtle play of sunlight breaking through overcast skies. The left side of the scene introduces rich, rusty-red hues in the foliage, adding warmth and depth to the composition. In the distance, a formidable mountain range looms under a sky filled with textured clouds, painted in soft gray and lavender tones. The clouds are dense and dramatic, adding an atmospheric quality to the scene, as if a storm might be brewing. Two small figures, dressed in cloaks, walk across the bridge, adding a sense of scale and companionship within the vastness of the landscape. This piece captures the essence of the untamed beauty of the Highlands, where natural elements harmonize in a rugged yet serene tableau. The artist's brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and depth, inviting the viewer to experience the majesty of this remote and timeless scene, where human presence appears small yet connected to the surrounding wilderness.
