Watercolour entitled The Overgate, Dundee.

Painting, watercolour framed and glazed, entitled "The Overgate 1914 , Dundee", by Charles G.L. Phillips. The Overgate (formerly Argylisgait because the town house of the Marquis of Arygle was there), was the principal western route from Dundee. Much of the street including tenement housing was demolished in post-war slum clearances and for the erection of the Overgate Centre in 1963. Ironically this has now been largely demolished to make way for a new shopping centre. Part of a collection of paintings, etchings and personal effects relating to Charles Gustav Phillips, a prolific Dundee artist. Phillips worked in a variety of media: oils, watercolour and etchings and was particularly known for his landscapes and townscapes of Dundee and the surrounding areas. His work was regularly exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy. He died in 1944 at the age of 80 and his work was bequeathed to Dundee Heritage Trust in 2002 by his son William S Phillips.
