Description
English: Seascape from Cobo Bay

A seascape sketch painted during Everett's stay at Cobo Bay, Guernsey. The loose brush strokes imitate the movement of the waves and the use of colour and grey tonal values indicate the cold wintry conditions. The paint indicating the surface of the water has been thickly applied in impasto. Everett visited Cobo Bay, Guernsey, in the Channel Islands between January and March in 1911. He stayed at the Rockmount Hotel with a direct sea view, for three months, with the express purpose of painting the sea. This meant he was able to concentrate on painting the sea and the effects of light on it. He revisited the area for three months between 12 January and March 1937 when he rented a studio on the cliffs at Grande Rocque near Cobo Bay. On this later occasion he noted that the weather was very wet. The painting is inscribed 'Cobo' on the reverse.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1949, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
