1931 (St Ives Bay: sea with boats)

Ben Nicholson 1894 - 1982

Summary

A childlike painting of the sea at St.Ives, seen through a closed window, the window latch clearly drawn in black outline in the bottom left corner. There is a choppy sea to the right with a small fishing boat and a rock with a lighthouse. The dark cliffs of the shore are visible on the far right. Above is a clear blue sky with white clouds.
