Original Ink & Watercolour – Kirkcudbright Harbour, Scotland By Dorothy Bruce

Original Ink & Watercolour – Kirkcudbright Harbour, Scotland By Dorothy Bruce


A charming original ink and watercolour painting depicting Kirkcudbright Harbour, one of Scotland’s most celebrated artists’ towns. This atmospheric coastal scene shows moored fishing boats, calm reflective waters and the distinctive shoreline buildings of Kirkcudbright, rendered in Dorothy Bruce’s delicate and confident hand.


The composition is beautifully balanced, with soft washes of colour combined with fine ink line work, capturing both architectural detail and the tranquil mood of the harbour. A highly evocative Scottish scene that would appeal to collectors of Scottish art, harbour scenes and Kirkcudbright School-related works.


The artwork is signed in pencil and presented in a glazed frame with mount. Frame measures approx 54 x 42cm. Would benefit from being reframed as it has some lifting to the artwork under the mount.


Dorothy Bruce was a Scottish artist active in the mid-20th century, best known for her sensitive depictions of Scottish coastal towns, harbours and rural landscapes. She worked primarily in ink and watercolour, favouring light, restrained palettes and strong draughtsmanship.


Bruce had a close artistic association with Kirkcudbright, a town long recognised as a centre for Scottish artists, often referred to as The Artists’ Town. Her work reflects the influence of this tradition, focusing on everyday harbour life, boats, and architecture with an understated, lyrical quality.


Her paintings are increasingly sought after for their authentic Scottish subject matter and their connection to the Kirkcudbright artistic heritage.


A lovely original Scottish harbour painting, ideal for collectors, coastal interiors, or anyone with a connection to Kirkcudbright or Scotland’s artistic tradition.
