Description: | A young boy is trying on a jacket in the second-hand clothes market at Sandgate, on the Quayside at Newcastle. A boy in the foreground has been to market for vegetables. Coal smoke from industry and from homes casts a haze over the background view of Gateshead warehouses. This type of Social Realist subject was fashionable at this time. The picture is painted in a rougher, more naturalistic manner than the more smoothly finished style used by Hedley earlier in his career. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East clothes North East artists Gateshead men Newcastle people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
