About the Item

A delightful study of a tranquil boatyard, likely situated on the Cornish or Devon coast before the war. Sunshine bathes the scene whilst ships' flags flutter gently in the breeze, capturing a snapshot of coastal life in the early twentieth century. The composition presents a picture postcard-perfect view of this bygone era. Signed and dated lower right. On canvas on stretchers. Image size: 61 x 76cm.
