The Staithes Group was a small rural painting community named after the fishing village located 30 miles up the road from the auction house. It was drawn together by a love of Impressionist art at the end of the 19th century, finding inspiration in the everyday lives of fisherfolk in the isolated communities along that stretch of coast.
