Description
Title: Castle in the West (1950)
Medium: Watercolour
Signature: Signed and Dated Lower Right
Provenance: Private Collection
Framed
Lot Description: Desmond Carrick RHA (1928–2012), Castle in the West (1950), watercolour on paper, signed lower right. A serene coastal scene rendered in Carrick’s soft, atmospheric palette, depicting a broad strand at low tide with scattered pools of water reflecting a pale sky. Figures can be seen walking along the beach and near small boats drawn up on the sand, adding life and scale to the composition. A silhouetted castle-like structure—possibly inspired by Doonagore Castle, Doolin, or another west coast landmark—anchors the distant headland. Framed in a gilt-edged frame with a double cream mount.
