Robert Tavener signed painting of Tunbridge Wells
This is an exceptional original Robert Tavener RE (1920-2004) signed ink and watercolour painting of The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells.
The watercolour is signed bottom right with the title 'The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells' in the artist's hand above the signature. It is simply framed in oak with a cream coloured mount, probably in the 1980s for the artist's own home.
Better known for his linocuts, Taverner also produced many watercolours with the South Downs landscape and historic buildings within a short drive of his home in Eastbourne providing the greatest inspiration and subject matter.
Dimensions: Image 46 x 35 cm, Frame 67 x 55 cm
Postage & packing: The picture can be hand-delivered for £10 to an address in the Tunbridge Wells area. For other UK addresses the postage would be £15 but the glass would have to be removed. Framer's paper tape and steel pins would be included so that the existing frame can be reused once new glass has been cut. Alternatively, the picture can be hand delivered to most places on mainland England and Wales outside the Tunbridge Wells area for £50.
