Artist: FREDERICK GRIFFIN

Title: 'ESTUARY OF THE ARUN, SUSSEX'  - framed oil on board

Description: Frederick Griffin, ROI, NS, SGA (1906-1976) was a painter in oil and gouache. Born in Nottingham, he studied at Nottingham School of Art, and exhibited subsequently at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, New English Art Club etc, and was a full member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Society of Graphic Artists and the National Society of Painters and Gravers.  He lived in Hampstead.

We have two oil paintings on board by Frederick Griffin. The present work measures about 14 x 17.5 inches image size on artist's board measuring 16 x 20 inches.  It is signed by the artist lower right and has the title ('Estuary of the Arun, Sussex', also known as 'Boats and Quay, Sussex') and Griffin's address recorded verso.  The painting has an exhibition label from Guildhall Art Gallery, London EC2 and there is an older label underneath that one. We think the painting will date to circa 1965.  It was priced originally by Griffin at 20 guineas.  The silver coloured frame appears to be original and it is in fair condition for its age, with losses in particular to the upper edge of the frame (the work is not glazed).  The painting is in good original condition with minor craquelure to the far left centre of the painting.

We believe that the location for this painting is Littlehampton Harbour in West Sussex...
