Gower Coast

Painting, oil on canvas, Gower Coast by Arthur James Wetherall Burgess, about 1952. Depicts the view looking down onto a sandy beach beneath a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, at left, is a ruined castle. Seated beneath the castle is a woman in a red dress. There are people on the beach, and a boat with a red sail at the water's edge. Beyond the beach are promontories with white cliffs, and a lighthouse is just visible. There is a ship at sea in the distance. Signed by the artist at bottom right.
