James Lawrence Isherwood Oil On Board Torquay Devon Circa 1975

James Lawrence Isherwood (English 1917 - 1989) - Torquay Nocturne

​

​Oil on masonite/hardboard board, signed lower right, 14" x 11"

 

The artist applied his typical use of bold colours and brushwork to show the impressionist reflection of Torquay town (Devon) in the harbour waters after dusk.

​

Marked verso 'Torquay Nocturne, 51 Gns' and 'Lily' which means that Isherwood considered this to be one of his finest works and would not sell it during his lifetime.

​

A fine example of the artists work in excellent condition. (A couple of minor nibbles to the slim black frame).
