About the Item

Ralph Reuben/Ruben Stubbs (English, 1824-1879) Low Tide at Sunset • 19thC Oil on artist board (card) ca. 21 x 36.5 cm • Signed bottom right and verso Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Stubbs Ralph Reuben/Ruben was born in 1826 in Bridlington on Englands East coast. His father was Ralph I. Stubbs (1773 -1845), a struggling artist from Hull. Besides basic art lessons from his father, Ralph Reuben didn’t visit schools, nor did he receive any formal training in art. The young artist however knew he was talented and spend time in nature. Fascinated by the wild scenery of the Yorkshire coast. he would wander along the shores lines, sketching the rugged, rocky outcrops and vessels he would discover on his outings. Over time he perfected his skills, especially his talent to be able to depict correctly what he saw and of course his masterly blending of the colours he experienced. Throughout his life he worked hard, knowing full well, that his talent alone would not be enough to be successful. Eventually Ralph Reuben became a household name in Yorkshire and he was not just known as an accomplished local artist, but also appreciated as a jovial fellow, full of anecdotes, mischief and fun – always the soul of any party. Consequently, his paintings found their way into many Yorkshire homes, then into various art collections and finally were sold throughout England and Europe. Today his paintings are still sought after by collectors in the whole world. Ralph Reuben/Ruben Stubbs died on March 30, 1879, in Levisham, England. Here we have a beautiful ‘plain air’ oil sketch, depicting fishing vessels at low tide. The ease the artist displays, to depict this atmospheric scene is breathtaking – you can virtually imagine the artist’s brush dancing over the board arranging the paints into this spontaneous, impressionistic marine painting, as the sun sets over the north sea. This little painting is in its ‘as found’ condition – A bit grubby, scratched and chaffed; but oozing unique charm. On the top is a small hole, through which a string was threaded that suspended the little painting, as it hung in a cottage outside of Norwich, where I bought it out of the estate of the deceased previous owner two decades ago. (I have added a photo of the still attached string) The painting is signed twice – bottom right and across the back. Also, there is a monogram ‘SS’ on the back which is probably the mark of a previous owner. I suggest the next owner takes the painting to their favorite framer, finds the perfect stile of frame which links this little 19thC gem to the stile of their home and it will delight generations to come.
