Artist: Peter Haworth (British/Canadian, 1927–1996) Title: Untitled Mediterranean Hill Town Medium: Watercolour on paper Signature: Signed lower right "P. Haworth" Sight Size: 11.5 × 13.5 in. Frame Size: 14 × 16 in. An original watercolour by Peter Haworth depicting a Mediterranean hill town rendered in a refined modernist style. Executed with transparent washes of warm ochres, terracotta, and cool blues, the composition captures the geometric forms of clustered architecture while conveying the brilliance of southern light. Delicate linear accents and confident brushwork create a lively sense of depth and atmosphere. Artist Biography: Peter Haworth (1927–1996) was a British-born Canadian painter, illustrator, and educator whose career spanned several decades. Trained in England, he immigrated to Canada in the 1950s, where he became active as both a commercial artist and a fine art painter. He was known for his accomplished watercolours, oils, and drawings, frequently depicting architectural subjects, landscapes, and scenes inspired by his extensive travels. Haworth exhibited widely throughout Canada and was respected for his strong draftsmanship and sensitive use of colour. His work often reflects a modern interpretation of traditional landscape painting, balancing careful observation with expressive design. Today, his paintings remain sought after by collectors of twentieth-century Canadian art for their technical proficiency and enduring decorative appeal.
