Inscribed on verso: Summer landscape near Paphos, Allan Cotton, Brockhill Studio, Colaton Raleigh, Devon, UK
Description:
The artist claimed that the month of May inspired him in Cyprus the most. He felt that then, his palette and brushes became more vibrant and luxuriant when painting the landscapes. This view, near Paphos, incorporates thistles in the foreground sketched in another of his works. The orange colour contrasts beautifully as it fades away in the distance against the shades of blue in the sky. Typical of the East, the horizon acquires a shade of mauve as the sun is about to set.
