An atmospheric oil on board depicting a busy industrial harbour beneath a moody, clouded sky. The artist’s vigorous brushwork and subtle use of light and reflection beautifully evoke the bustle, smoke and shifting energy of a working port.
 
Though unsigned, the confident technique and muted tonal palette are reminiscent of British maritime painters of the 1940s-1960s, such as Montague Dawson or Rowland Lang-Maid.
 
Presented in a carved gilt frame with a rich, time-worn patina that complements the scene.
