Description:
This heartwarming oil painting by George Turner depicts a scene of two children, a boy and his teenage sister, eagerly awaiting their father’s return from a fishing trip. The children, dressed in their traditional wear, stand on a beach, their eyes fixed on the horizon. In the distance, fishing boats with colourful details bob gently on the waves, hinting at their father’s successful venture. Nestled on a cliffside in the background are charming cottages, completing the idyllic seaside composition. The scene is beautifully captured, English School and presented in a handsome gilt frame.
The painting signed “G Turner” likely dates around the 1880s based on the artist’s exhibition history. This captivating artwork offers a glimpse into a bygone era and would be a valuable addition to any collection of landscape paintings or maritime art.
