Barrie Richardson Original Watercolour Otley Sunday Market Yorkshire Signed
An original signed watercolour by Otley-based artist Barrie Richardson, depicting the lively Otley Sunday Market in West Yorkshire.
The detailed composition captures a busy market day, with shoppers gathered among striped stalls in Otley’s historic town centre. Richardson has carefully recorded the surrounding stone buildings, cobbled market square and numerous individual figures, creating a colourful scene with strong local and social-history interest.
The painting is signed and dated 2008 at the lower left.
The original label on the reverse identifies the work as:
Otley Sunday Market

Barrie Richardson – Wrenberry Designs
The label also gives the artist’s former Wrenberry address in Otley, independently supporting the attribution and location.
Mounted beneath glass in a cream-painted wooden frame with hanging cord attached.
