Oil on board;

This highly personal oil sketch reflects Danby's fascination for evening light effects and varied dark tones. The artist's location is unclear but it is suggestive of the Avon Gorge and a view from Leigh Woods.
We are grateful to Francis Greenacre for his help when cataloguing this lot.
