Original watercolor painting by listed Bermudian artist Alfred Birdsey (1912-1996), signed and dated 1980 in the lower right.
Executed in Birdsey's recognizable loose modernist style, the composition depicts a peaceful waterfront landscape with cottages, trees, distant shoreline, and expressive washes of blue, gray, and earth tones. Fine ink accents and spontaneous brushwork create an atmospheric coastal scene characteristic of the artist's later work.
Professionally presented under glass in an attractive black and silver decorative frame with black mat, ready to hang.
Birdsey remains one of Bermuda's most collected twentieth-century watercolorists, admired for his expressive coastal scenes and impressionistic handling of light. His works are represented in numerous private collections and continue to enjoy an active secondary market.
