Artist
Edward RWS Duncan




Edward RWS Duncan is a British Romanticism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Edward Duncan painted quiet coastal scenes and river views in Britain during the 1840s–1860s. His watercolours like Whitby (1841) and Carting seaweed on the coast of Guernsey (1853) show ships, castles, and everyday coastal work, all bathed in gentle English light. These works belong to the period when watercolour became a serious art form for topographical detail and local colour. See how Duncan framed the Isle of Wight’s Channel Fleet in 1859 next.
