Kingston
1932

A painting depicting an industrial river scene with moored boats and waterfront buildings under a dramatic, cloudy sky. The foreground shows a quayside with bollards and a dark, shadowed pavement, leading the eye towards the river where boats are docked. The background features industrial silos and red-brick buildings, with a hint of pink in the clouds suggesting either dawn or dusk. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner.
