About this work

This painting shows a cityscape with a harbour scene. There are buildings in the background, and people are gathered in the foreground. The scene is painted in muted colours, with shades of brown and grey dominating the palette. In the foreground, a group of people are standing or sitting, engaged in various activities. Some are looking out at the harbour, while others are chatting or working. The atmosphere is one of quiet activity, with no sense of urgency or drama. The painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum, where you can see more works by Spencer Gore and other artists.
