About the Item

Work on canvas Beige wooden frame 90 x 70 x 4.6 cm Breton fisherman with pipe This captivating portrait shows a fisherman with a bushy beard, deep in thought and smoking his pipe. The striking details of his face, especially the pronounced wrinkles, reflect a life rich in experience. The play of light highlights his reflective gaze, contrasting with the enveloping shadows. The masterful use of warm hues, such as red and ochre, lends a warm, nostalgic ambience to the work. The beret and pipe, traditional accessories, add a striking authenticity to the character. This painting is a tribute to the wisdom and serenity acquired with age. Every brushstroke is executed with precision, demonstrating impeccable technique. The artist brilliantly captures the essence of life and the passage of time, transforming a simple scene into a timeless work of art.

Sailor Smoking a Pipe Arthur David McCormick Oil on canvas Image size: 19 x 25 1/2 inches (48 x 65 cm) Contemporary frame Arthur David McCormick (1860–1943) was a notable British illustrator and painter, renowned for his landscapes, historical scenes, naval subjects, and genre scenes. Born in Coleraine, County Londonderry, he pursued his education at the Royal College of Art in London from 1883 to 1886. McCormick’s career was marked by his contributions to various illustrated magazines, including the English Illustrated Magazine and the Illustrated London News. He participated in significant expeditions, such as Sir Martin Conway’s journey to the Karakoram Himalayas in 1892 and Clinton T. Dent’s expedition to the Caucasus Mountains in 1895. His illustrations from these travels were featured in Conway’s book “Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram-Himalayas” (1894) and his own publication “An Artist in the Himalayas” (1895). Throughout his career, McCormick illustrated nearly thirty books, focusing on travel and adventure themes. Some of his notable works include illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tales of Mystery and Imagination” (1905) and Henry Newbolt’s “Drake’s Drum and Other Songs of the Sea” (1914). He was also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1889 to 1938. Navy Cut Sailor Work...
