I’ve been given a copy of a magazine reproduction of Eyre Crowe’s School Treat (1878) by a fellow fan of Crowe’s work. The critics were not very kind about this picture – follow the link to see more about the work.
Pulling the boat ashore
May 19, 2010A private owner has let me know about a painting in his possession, thought to be by Eyre Crowe and dating from 1871. Pulling the boat ashore seems to show a group of Breton women pulling a fishing boat onto a beach. The composition of the picture, with multiple characters arranged in a line, is very reminiscent of other paintings by Crowe, including At the pit-door (1873) The Dinner Hour, Wigan (1874), and Nelson Leaving England for the Last Time (1888).
