EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour and bodycolour drawing, titled "Ships in a Mediterranean Harbour, probably Algiers," is an exquisite work of art by the English artist Kenneth Denton Shoesmith, created in the year 1918. The painting depicts a bustling harbour filled with a multitude of ships, their sails billowing in the gentle Mediterranean breeze. The vibrant blue water reflects the sun-kissed sky, creating a stunning contrast against the intricately detailed ships. Shoesmith's masterful use of colour and brushwork brings the harbour to life, capturing the energy and activity that defines such a bustling port. The ships, with their varied sizes and shapes, add to the rich tapestry of the scene, while the surrounding buildings and structures add a sense of history and culture. The painting, which measures approximately 11.5 x 16 inches (29.2 x 40.6 cm), is executed on a board and is a testament to Shoesmith's exceptional artistic ability. His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the Mediterranean scene is truly remarkable, making this a must-have for any art collection. Kenneth Denton Shoesmith (1890-1939) was a prolific English artist, known for his watercolours and bodycolour drawings of various subjects, including landscapes, seascapes, and architectural scenes. This particular work, "Ships in a Mediterranean Harbour, probably Algiers," is a prime example of his talent and is a beautiful reminder of the charm and allure of the Mediterranean.
