We are to pleased to offer for sale this rare topographical watercolour by the renowned marine English artist Alma Claude Burlton Cull, who has signed the painting A. B. Cull in the lower left hand corner. The watercolour depicts a silhouetted view of Table Mountain in South Africa at sunset, from below the mountain, with a small stream and vegetation and flowers in the foreground.

Alma Claude Burlton Cull was born in Thornton Heath, Surrey in 1880. He was a noted English marine painter, who worked in both oils and watercolours and specialised in painting ships, particularly those of the Royal Navy, although he did some topographical watercolours of various places around the globe, this painting being one of these.

He was a contemporary of William Lionel Wyllie RA, with whom he was favourably compared, although his work is much rarer. Kind Edward VII commissioned some of his paintings.

He exhibited at The Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Alpine Club Gallery, the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham, the London Salon, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Bruton Galleries.

He retired with his wife to Lee-on-Solent in Hampshire, where he died in 1931. After his death, his widow stored all of his unsold work in his studio in Old Portsmouth, where, sadly, it was totally destroyed in a bombing raid in 1940, hence the rarity of his work. There are three examples of his naval paintings in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and can be viewed at BBC - Your Paintings.

His naval paintings particularly achieve prices in the thousands of pounds and auction results may be found at the usual sites.

The painting is mounted with wash lines and is framed in a 3/4" mottled gilt frame. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
