East View of the City of Waterford by Thomas Sautelle Roberts Art Print

The sun bursts through cloud over Waterford in this 1795 aquatint print — spires, quays and shipping seen from the hills east of Thomas Sautelle Roberts' native city. Drawn as the companion to his West View, it takes in the whole sweep of the Suir as it widens toward the sea: a tall ship rides at anchor in the foreground, small sails catch the light mid-river, and the city's towers stand in silhouette along the far shore under the low sun.

Thomas Sautelle Roberts (c.1760–1826), born in Waterford, trained as an architect before turning to landscape painting. Between 1795 and 1799 he published twelve aquatint views of Ireland's southern cities and rivers — this plate engraved in London by Samuel Alken. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1789 and was among the founding members of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823.

Pairs handsomely with the West View as a facing pair, and makes a fine gift for a Waterford household. Every print is open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide, backed by verified customer reviews.
