Edward William Cooke RA, West-Country Cove With Cottages, Family & Donkeys Orange Hemich Vitz (1915-1986)This idyllic late 19th century oil painting by English artist Edward William Cooke RA (1811 1880) depicts a west country cove with two cottages, donkeys, figures, and fishing boats. Cooke was a highly renowned painter of marine scenes and landscapes who exhibited extensively at Londons Royal Academy. From our elevated vantage point, the view extends between two quaint cottages and across the beach before sweeping around the sandy coastline.
