A beautiful and increasingly rare matching pair of original early 20th century Devon coastal watercolours by British artist Walter Henry Sweet (1889–1943), depicting two iconic Jurassic Coast scenes near Sidmouth, Devon.

These atmospheric works are painted in Sweet’s highly recognisable West Country style, with soft misty distance work, warm red sandstone tones, and delicate handling of sea and light.

The paintings are sold together as a genuine matching pair and remain in their original matching vintage frames and mounts.

One painting depicts Ladram Bay and the historic natural sea arch before its collapse in 1925, preserving a fascinating lost feature of the Devon coastline.
