Penzance by Stanhope Forbes

Just looking at this Painting by Stanhope Forbes is a interesting thing to do .It was painted in
1924 and is of Market Jew Street. It is a rather busy sort of view and there are only a few motor vehicles about, the lady crossing the road is heading towards the steps on the other side, though she may in fact be heading to cath the bus that is waiting buy them,. and there is a small child with her presumibly holding her hand, though we cannot quite see this on this side of the road there is a man loading a cart.,urther down a man id pushing a cart just past the post box .
it is rather a grey overcast sort of day.
A social commentry sort of painting one which you could see something different in it every time you looked at it.
It is a shame that you have to go all the way to Auckland, New Zealand to see it!
