Ken Lochhead - Quality Street North Berwick

Ken Lochhead (Scottish, 1936–2006) – Quality Street, North Berwick, Hand-Coloured Print, Framed

A charming hand-coloured print after an original drawing by Ken Lochhead, depicting Quality Street, North Berwick. Known for his distinctive architectural views and affectionate depictions of Scottish towns, Lochhead had a gift for capturing local character through clear linework, balanced composition, and gently applied colour. This example is a particularly appealing view of one of East Lothian’s most picturesque streets.

The print has a warm and inviting decorative quality. The neat arrangement of buildings, simple perspective, and carefully tinted surface give the composition both clarity and charm, while the hand-colouring lends a subtle individuality to the piece. Lochhead’s work is especially attractive for the way it combines topographical interest with a light, accessible style, making it easy to place in both traditional and modern interiors.

Quality Street is one of North Berwick’s best-loved historic streets, and the subject gives the print a strong sense of place. For collectors of Scottish townscapes, North Berwick views, and architectural prints, this is a pleasing and characterful example of Lochhead’s work.

Presented behind glass with a simple brown mount, the print displays well and is ready to hang.
