Austin Mecklem

Tompkins' Cove
1934

This is a painting depicting an industrial scene with a river in the foreground. A large factory with a tall smokestack dominates the right side, emitting dark smoke into the sky. In the center, there are white buildings on a cliff overlooking the river, with a train track running below. A steam train is visible on the left, moving along the tracks parallel to the riverbank. The background features a hazy landscape with buildings across the river, and the painting is signed "Austen Bracken - 1948" in the lower left corner.
