James Bell Anderson (Scotland, 1886-1938) 'Waves on Breakwall' oil on artistboard 6 ⅛” high x 8 ⅛” wide 9” high x 11” wide Description & Notes: Original oil on card painting entitled, 'Waves on Breakwall' by Scottish artist James Bell Anderson (1886-1938). The clouds are darkening along the left and the waves are beginning to roll in and crash against a breakwall; one yacht along the horizon is caught out in the weather and the other two are still running ahead under the still blue sky; seven birds are fishing in the churn. At the end of the wall, where the sea meets the land, is a wooden hitch in the form of a cross. An accomplished artist Anderson is shown to have painted in a broad range of subject matter outside of his specialty of portraiture and interior painting and can exhibit a near photographic quality. This scene is possibly of Dublin Bay where he is known to have painted the sea. Scroll Down for further details
