Lot description

John Mulcaster Carrick, British 1833-1896- A coastal view with figures collecting gulls' eggs on the clifftops; oil on canvas, signed with monogram 'JMC' and dated '66' (lower left), 104 x 81 cm. Provenance: [Possibly] John Hamilton Trist, Vernon Terrace, Brighton. Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work is a striking example of Carrick's dramatic, colourful coastal landscapes, with the immense, sweeping scale of the scene emphasised by the tiny figures visible in the foreground. This idealised view, with gentle waters and balmy blue skies, recalls a much smaller coastal scene by Carrick which sold at Roseberys on 29 March 2023, lot 242 (£1,820).
