About the Item

Signed oil on canvas figures in seascape by English impressionist painter John Anthony Park. The piece depicts a view of the seaport in La Rochelle, a city on the west coast of France. Sail boats are sailing around the port on what looks to be a warm summer's day. This rare work by Park is one of the only recorded paintings he executed in France. This was painted in 1923 / 1924 - he showed it at the annual St Ives Show Day in 1924 and likely submitted it to the Royal Academy in the same year.
