Edward Swales

A charming original oil painting on canvasboard by Edward Swales, depicting a picturesque harbour filled with small sailing boats, fishing vessels and colourful waterfront buildings, with a mountainous landscape beyond.

The painting has a lovely atmospheric quality, with soft reflections across the water and warm coastal colours. The detailed brushwork and impressionistic handling of light give the scene considerable character.

The work is signed with the artist’s initials “ES” in the lower right corner and retains an original handwritten label to the reverse identifying the artist and title as “The Harbour”.
