Since 1763 the name 'Russborough' has been synonymous with collecting and dealing in fine art. In the closing decades of the last century the historic town of Port Hope has become home to Lord Russborough's Annex, which specialises in an individual mix of antique maps, paintings and prints.
While Lord Russborough's Annex features a great many works of museum calibre, we also offer a wonderful selection of prints priced at under $100.

A Royal Naval Brigantine, with square sails set and commission pennant at the masthead, ply’s  its course through choppy seas  off 'the Needles', Isle of Wight, England.  The light house and chalk stacks may be seen in the background, along with the Totland coast and other shipping in Alum and Scratchel's Bays. This is a late example from the hand of the mature artist dated [19] 21 and reflects his mastery of the intimate details of ship's rigging and the subtleties of capturing the sea.

The incoming tide will soon re-float the two fishing boats beached and anchored to the shore as adjacent fishermen prepare the vessel for the next fishing expedition. Remnants of older nets are seen suspended from poles at the shoreline. Further out in the bay other vessels may be seen plying their trade. The tower of an ancient church or abbey may be glimpsed upon the headland. This attractive painting is typical of the atmospheric marine style of Beverely's work.
