Description: | This fine painting of sailmakers by North-East artist Ralph Hedley represents two fashionable themes of the time - natural light effects, and working people in their own environment. The slanting light streaming in from the window creates sharp contrasts of light and shade across the face of the man in the foreground. The light also picks out pink highlights on the shirt of the man on the left. The picture is painted using square-end brushes, which give a softer, less detailed effect than Hedley's earlier style. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1908 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Ralph Hedley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
