Medium

Dimensions

Description
The frame has been divided into three squares, from top left to right; - no. 1 12.5x9cm. has two pole shapes and wires running from it. - the no. 2, 9x10cm. is shaded shapes. - the third in the shape of a backwards L could be the front part of a ship with the anchor winch shown and a large block and tackle on cable above. Marks; the cardboard has been cracked through the vertical middle.“Collings spent the first 40 years of his life in South Devon, only a few miles from the coast. Harbour views, often with boats, dominate his early work. This studious sketch, with the paper divided into three sections to accommodate mast, reflection, and winch details, was probably made when the artist was about 20.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
