Green and Gold: A Shop in Calais, The Hunterian

It is painted thinly in pale shades of yellow ochre and bottle green on a grey primed panel. The design was roughly outlined with a finely pointed brush. The half door is painted a little more thickly, with careful diagonal strokes. The subtle asymmetrical arrangement of geometrical shapes and the textured surfaces of gold and green are visually satisfying.
