A characterful mid-20th-century British gouache on board, capturing a quiet coastal street at dusk. The composition shows a tall, rendered house to the left, a softly lit streetlamp, and the darkened sea beyond a promenade rail.
The artist uses bold flat colour fields in blue, ochre and dark green, creating a moody, almost cinematic atmosphere typical of mid-century British illustrative painting.
The work is unsigned but confidently painted, with the simple geometric house, moody sky and pared-back palette suggesting a provincial coastal town scene—possibly Cornwall, North Devon or Northumberland. Executed in gouache on board and presented in a later natural-wood frame with mount.
A striking and atmospheric piece of vintage British art with a quiet, contemplative feel.
