Description:
This atmospheric watercolour by British artist John Steane (b.1931) depicts a pair of rowing boats resting on a rocky shoreline, tethered among pale boulders and vivid green grasses under an expansive sky. The foreground boat, with its curved wooden form and registration number “APS 976,” draws the viewer’s eye, leading gently into the layered composition of stone, marshland, and distant hills.
Steane’s delicate brushwork and tonal precision capture the unique stillness of low tide in a coastal or lakeside setting, where working boats are pulled ashore and the light falls softly across the landscape. The grounded vessels hint at human presence without depicting figures, creating a quiet sense of narrative and place.
Though the precise location is unlisted, the landscape is suggestive of the Scottish Highlands or the western Irish coastline—regions where these traditional clinker-built rowing boats are commonly used and where the artist frequently travelled. The muted palette of greens, greys, and lilacs gives the work a gentle, reflective quality.
Collectors of coastal and maritime subjects will appreciate the realism and compositional balance of this piece, which speaks to both the functional beauty of vernacular boats and the rugged serenity of the northern British Isles. Ideal for framing and display in both classic and modern interiors.
