Harbour Light
SOLD
A charming mid-century modernist coastal painting that captures a serene dockside scene bathed in soft daylight, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.
Fishing boats are moored alongside a working pier, flanked by crates, nets, and a striking red navigation beacon at centre. The artist has used a flattened perspective and simplified forms to convey the geometry of the harbour while preserving its quiet charm.
Rendered in a harmonious palette of green, powder blue, yellow, and muted crimson, the composition is infused with a breezy, contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is energetic yet controlled – broad, confident strokes describe boats and buildings, while finer, expressive lines evoke movement in the water and grass. The interplay of structure and spontaneity gives the painting both architectural weight and lyrical rhythm.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary champagne wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting has scattered areas of craquelure as shown, and a small area of paint loss to the upper edge (also shown in close ups). The frame is in good vintage condition.
Size: 39.5 x 66 cm (including frame)
