A Bend on the Wye below Chepstow in Morning Light
A Bend on the Wye below Chepstow in Morning Light

Following a visit in 1905, Chepstow Castle and nearby bends in the River Wye provided some iconic subjects in Steer's landscape art. The present work, which slightly surprisingly is on a pale grey paper, shows the cliffs on a bend in the Wye below Chepstow in a suffused, golden morning light, seen from the south of the town. A similarly toned work of the same view was sold at auction in the United States by Stair in 2013. The present watercolour featured in exhibitions of Steer's work in the years following his death.
