THOMAS MORTIMER (ENGLISH, C. 1880 - 1920) MARITIME WATERCOLOR, titled "Low Tide in Foreland," with multiple vessels sitting on exposed sandbanks and sailing ships on the horizon. Signed and titled by the artist in the lower left corner. Framed and matted. Label on back of frame "Around 1890s my Grandmother bought several watercolors from a gallery in Minneapolis. this is one which Ive particularly liked. It looks like the work of the American luminists; original frame" and a gallery label "Hodges Galleries, 1520 Belle View Blvd., Alexandria, VA, 22307". Late 19th/early 20th century. 20 1/2" x 8 1/4" sight, 32 1/4" x 20 1/2" OA. 
Catalogue Note: Several places in England are called Forelands, but this is likely the Forelands at the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight, an area previously noted for smuggling, crab and lobster fishing, and shipwrecks. 

Condition

Good visual condition, with moderate foxing across the surface and minor undulations at the top edge. The frame is in very good overall condition, with some loss of decorative plasterwork exposing the wood. The label states "original frame," but it is unclear whether that refers to this specific frame; it appears to have been reframed in the late 20th century, as Hodges Galleries was active from 1965 to 2026, but it is not clear whether they kept the original frame.
