Attributed to John Bowles (20th Century) - Seascape, possibly Penzance, Cornwall - Oil on canvas - 71 x 91.5cm unframed - Unsigned [Provenance; Purchased 18th Feb 2019, Grand Auctions, where provenance was listed as 'The vendor acquired the painting from John Bowles. Bowles had a very successful early career, but was totally knocked back by the vast attack of abstraction that occurred with the huge promotion of American Abstract Expressionist art. He was so overwhelmed by being ignored by galleries for being figurative, that he had a bonfire in his garden of his paintings'.].
