Lot Essay

Tayler was a leading member of the Newlyn School of artists, along with Frank Bramley and Stanhope Forbes. Together they celebrated the life and customs of this small Cornish fishing village. Dating from 1911, this work exemplifies the Newlyn School's interest circa 1910 in interiors lit only by fire or candlelight.
