Robert Jobling (1841-1923) was born in Newcastle and worked in the shipyards before becoming a full-time artist. As a member of the Cullercoats colony of artists and later the Staithes Group he painted North East England coastal life, its people, landscapes and seascapes. Much of Jobling's Staithes Group period work shows the influence of the American artist Winslow Homer in terms of subject matter and compositions which Jobling would have seen when they were both painting in Cullercoats. Jobling interprets this in style of his own. Jobling exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1883. His life and work are featured in the Staithes Group Centenary Catalogue and his work is in good public and private collections.
"Coble off Staithes" is a watercolour measuring 7"x 9". It is signed lower right and dated 30.7.13. A good quality Staithes Group painting.
