Lot 35: J. Slater (British, 20th Century), 'St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay', (Signed)

J. Slater (British, 20th Century), oil on board. An impressionistic coastal landscape depicting St Mary’s Lighthouse and its surrounding outbuildings on a rocky outcrop, captured from the Whitley Bay shoreline. The work is characterised by a confident, highly textural impasto technique, with visible, expressive brushwork throughout the sky, water, and rugged foreground. Signed J Slater in the lower right corner. Housed in an ornate, weathered gilt-finished frame featuring a multi-layered, ruled cream mat under glass. A partial verso label identifies the piece as having passed through W. Carling & Son, Fine Art Dealers, 19 Station Road, Whitley Bay, which aligns with the local subject matter.
