About the Item
"Coastal Town on the Riviera" is an oil on canvas on paperboard work made by Winston Churchill circa 1925. The work is double-sided, with a portrait on the reverse. The artwork size is 14 x 20 inches. The framed size is 18 3/4 x 24 3/4 x 3 inches.
Uniquely among Winston Churchill’s known work, “Coastal Town on the Riviera” is in fact a double painting with the landscape on one side and an oil sketch on the other. The portrait sketch bears some resemblance to Viscountess Castlerosse who was a frequent guest in the same Rivera estates where Churchill visited. Churchill painted her in C 517 and C 518 and gives us a larger picture of the people who inhabited his world.
Of his approximately 550 works, the largest portion (about 150) were of the South of France, where Churchill could indulge in both the array of colors to apply to his canvas and in gambling, given the proximity of Monte Carlo.
