	Shipping, Summer Watercolours, 9¼"x13½", signed Ernst Dade. A wide range of shipping, from cobble to steamer, roll across the choppy, summer blue sky. One of his early works, he used the affectation of signing himself Ernst, a habit he adopted while painting in Holland. His time spent as a seaman and his hobby of making model ships have obviously helped him to depict both shipping and their relationship with the sea accurately and sensitively. View larger image


Beside the Lighthouse, Scarborough Watercolours, 6"x8½", signed Ernst Dade and dated (18)89. This pair of watercolours must have been painted almost as soon as Dade returned to Scarborough from the Chelsea studio he shared with Nelson Dawson. This is a sensitive, atmospheric little picture showing a fine, misty drizzle pervading the whole scene, but a gentle silver light adds life and sparkle to it through reflectiions in the sea and the foreground puddles..

	By the Quayside, Scarborough Watercolours, 6"x8½", signed Ernst Dade and dated (18)89. In this one of the pair, the light is stronger, but still gentle, casting soft shadows on the quayside. The same light shimmers around the figures and the boats. One of a pair. View larger image
