Description:
This charming watercolour by British artist John Steane (b.1931) presents a peaceful view of a Cornish farmstead overlooking the coast. A cluster of traditional stone barns and outbuildings is depicted under a dramatic sky, with vibrant flowers blooming along a dry-stone wall in the foreground. A striped corrugated shed stands out among the muted tones, while a tranquil estuary or river curves gently in the background, suggesting a rural location near the coast—possibly north Cornwall or the Camel Estuary.
Steane captures the unique atmosphere of the Cornish countryside, with its rugged farm buildings, windswept textures, and distant rolling hills. The purples and pinks of the sky suggest early morning or dusk, and the presence of rustic farm objects—tools, barrels, fencing—adds to the narrative detail and authenticity.
Cornwall’s farming heritage and rural coastline have long inspired British artists, particularly in the 20th century, when artists flocked to the region for its quality of light and sense of place. This work offers both a nostalgic and observational view of that landscape and would appeal to collectors of regional English art or scenes of pastoral life.

Shap Farmhouse
Signed and inscribed to reverse
Watercolour

Muncaster's watercolours capture the English countryside feel with great competence. Here he records a farmhouse in the Market Town of Shap in Cumbria. This remote village has had a market charter since the seventeenth century so although small is officially a Market Town.
Claude Grahame Muncaster, RWS, ROI, RBA, SMA was the son of Oliver Hall RA. At the age of fifteen his career as a landscape painter began, and he soon took to the seas, spending the 1920s and 30s travelling the world with his sketchbook in a series of vessels. With the outbreak of war and he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at fifteen his mathematics was very weak and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camofleur. A master of capturing seascapes he was therefore able to hide huge ships ‘in plain sight’ with clever disguises. After the war he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham.
Claude Muncaster was a watercolourist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. He was born Grahame Hall, the son of the Royal Academician Oliver Hall who taught his son to paint from an early age; Grahame first exhibited his work aged 15 and a few years later was showing at the RA. However, he adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922 to dissociate his career from that of his father.
Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn...
