Five Pound Island
1939

A vibrant painting depicting a bustling harbor scene with boats and figures. In the foreground, rooftops of buildings frame the view, leading to the water where various boats, including one with a person rowing and another filled with a group of people, are scattered. The background shows a beach with figures and more boats, under a sky with dynamic brushstrokes. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
