Today, we visit with a founding member of the celebrated StaithesArtClub, which was based around Whitby. #AlbertGeorgeStevens was a figurative painter who worked mostly in watercolour. He travelled to Antwerp to study at the Academy but later returned to Yorkshire to live. His works are slightly impressionistic, while his subjects were Yorkshire landscapes at times capturing local children playing, or shepherds and their sheep, milkmaids, scenes of rural life, and a number of images of #Whitby.

The watercolour in my collection is a fine view of Whitby from the river Esk with the abbey atop the cliffs. Done in pencil first, then coloured and lastly highlighted with white. A beautiful image of the city of Whitby.
