View on the Coast at Deal. Artist: Charles Bentley (British, London 1805/1806-1854 London). Dimensions: sheet: 6 x 8 3/4 in. (15.2 x 22.2 cm). Date: ca. 1846.
Bentley trained as an aquatint engraver of illustrated views and traveled through Britain seeking Picturesque subjects for his own accomplished watercolors. This luminous view represents Deal--a port on England's southeast coast of England where Julius Caesar landed when he invaded Britain. Beyond loosely sketched fishing nets, the contours of a rustic cottage lead the eye toward vessels beneath a soaring sky. Bentley exhibited a view of Deal at the Old Watercolour Society in 1846, which suggests a similar date for the present work. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
