About the Item

Patrick Procktor (British, 1936 – 2003) Seagull at the window Pencil and watercolour Signed and dated ‘Patrick Procktor 00’ (upper right) and further signed ‘Patrick Procktor’ (lower right) 14.3/4 x 11.7/8 in. (37.7 x 27.5 cm.) Elegant and contemplative, Seagull at the Window showcases Patrick Procktor’s refined command of line and wash. Executed in delicate pencil and translucent watercolour, the work captures a quiet, introspective moment — a seagull poised against a softly illuminated window. The composition’s simplicity belies its emotional depth, characteristic of Procktor’s late works, where atmosphere and sensitivity take precedence over detail. Patrick Procktor (1936–2003) rose to prominence in 1960s London, part of a vibrant circle that included David Hockney and Keith Vaughan. A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, Procktor became celebrated for his lyrical draughtsmanship, elegant use of colour, and cosmopolitan sensibility. His work is held in major public collections, including Tate Britain, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the British Museum. Seagull at the Window is a serene and poetic example of Procktor’s late style — a work that distills his lifelong fascination with stillness, light, and the quiet beauty of everyday scenes.
