Ann Tonkin, Totnes Waterfront, Original Watercolour on Paper, 2008 - A landscape watercolour on paper depicting a riverfront scene in Totnes, Devon. The composition features a row of multi-storey townhouses and historic riverside buildings, executed in a representational style with soft colour washes and fine pencil or pen outlines. In the foreground, small rowing and motor boats are moored on the water, with their reflections visible on the river's surface. The work is signed and dated in the lower right corner of the image in black ink or paint as A. Tonkin 2008. The painting is housed in an off-white card mount. A handwritten white paper label is adhered to the lower-left corner of the mount, which reads TOTNES / ANN TONKIN / WATERCOLOUR. There is also a faint, partially obscured pencil inscription on the mount directly below the image which appears to begin with the word Totnes. The mount is a standard card construction and shows significant surface wear. Width (mount): 50.8 cm.
