Why We Love It
John Whorf is one of America’s foremost watercolorists. Best known for his depictions of marine subjects, this watercolor of Cape Cod demonstrates his incredible facility with the medium as well as his particular skill at capturing the unique feel of a specific location.
The Value
Collecting works on paper is often a good way to begin a collection since they tend to be more affordable than oils. Since Whorf is most famous for his watercolor paintings, collecting them is an opportunity to have the artist’s best work without having to pay a premium.
