Item Description
A British School harbour scene in oil on canvas, signed 'Robert Russell' and attributed to Geoffrey Robert Russell. Closely moored boats fill the foreground of the tall composition, their upright masts breaking across a row of quayside buildings. Pale hulls stand out against the dark green water, while ochre, brick red and blue-green recur in the boats, façades and reflections. The buildings are reduced to broad blocks of colour, with windows and figures on the quay picked out in short strokes. Dark outlines define the curving hulls, while the reflections break into textured patches of paint. In the lower left, the red signature is painted across the pale stern of a foreground boat, where it reads at first glance like the boat's own lettering. The canvas is presented in a original slim wooden studio frame and bears a biographical label on the reverse naming Geoffrey Robert Russell. England Mid-20th century.
Dimensions: 64cm (H) x 43cm (W) x 3cm (D)
