Artist: Robert Scanlan    

Title: 'Coastal scene with rocks' - original gouache with watercolour, unframed  

Description: Robert Scanlan (born 1908 Cork, Ireland) was a painter, printmaker and illustrator.  He studied art in London and in Europe, and exhibited at the Royal Academy, Leicester Galleries etc.  Scanlan served with the London Irish Rifles in World War Two and his 1941 painting 'Sentries in a Guard Room' was acquired for the Imperial War Museum.  He designed posters for London Transport 1949-60, examples of which may be viewed at the London Transport Museum website.  Robert Scanlan lived in London, SW19.

The present work is in mixed media (gouache with some watercolour) and measures 14.7 x 18 inches image size.  It was acquired from the artist's studio in the mid 1980s, and we think it will date to the late 1950s or early 1960s.  It is possibly an Irish coastal landscape. The work may be signed lower right but we are not sure if this is a signature or not!  A close up image will be supplied on request.

The painting is unframed, and it is in excellent fresh condition save for some very minor losses at the corners.  It will look fantastic once framed...
