About: George Lothian Hall was known as a water colour artist. This dramatic seascape by the Welsh artist is a fine example of his work. The subtle depiction of sheets of rain across the picture are quite beautiful, combined with powerful waves and a flock of seagulls. This painting captures the power and beauty of the British coastline.

Hall’s works are held in the collection of the Yale Centre for British Art, of which 16 of the works are of Gibraltar.
