Lot description

Andrew Nicholl, RHA, Irish 1804-1886- A rowing boat by the Giant's Causeway; pencil and watercolour on paper, signed 'A Nicholl R.H.A' (lower left), 35 x 51.3 cm. Provenance: with The Pyms Gallery, London [PG F673]. Note: Nicholl was a founding member of the Belfast Association of Artists, and was elected a full member of the Royal Hibernian Society in 1860. He received encouragement and possible instruction from his brother, fellow artist William Nicholl (1794-1840). The distinctive cliff face in the present scene, towering above the figures in the rowing boat below, is that of the Giant's Causeway on the coast of County Antrim, a landscape which the artist depicted on multiple occasions, including, for example, in a watercolour which sold at Adam's, Dublin, on 29 September 2021, lot 84 (€1,700 hammer).
