About the Item

This evocative genre painting by Alfred Armitage (1860-1900) captures residential living in the busy seaside town of Whitby. Weathered buildings frame a narrow street with families and fishing tackle out front. The artist's skilful use of tones and meticulous attention to detail draws the viewer's eye down the paved alleyway, where figures and everyday objects bring the quaint urban setting to life. The painting has been beautifully presented in an antique gilt frame and slip. Signed 'Alf. Armitage' to the lower left and date '89. Inscribed verso 'The Cross, Whitby'. On canvas on stretchers.
