Item Description
It’s a landmark that helps keep sailors safe off Aquidneck Island. It’s Castle Hill Light, portrayed in watercolor by Richard Grosvenor of Newport, RI.
Erected in 1890 and still in use today, the lighthouse, situated at the end of Newport’s famous Ocean Drive, is often used as a starting/stopping point for regattas.

He paints in oil and watercolor and has had several solo shows here and in New York. A Grosvenor painting of the White House was featured in a calendar commissioned by President and Mrs. Clinton. He is a longtime supporter of the Rhode Island PBS Arts Auction.
