Artist's Resale Right ("droit de Suite"). If the Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to this lot, the buyer also agrees to pay us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations, and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist's collection agent.
In 1945 McCannell married the artist Peter Rees Roberts and they went on a holiday together in Mousehole, Cornwall. In 1945, McCannell and Rees Roberts painted the fishermen and sailors in Cornwall. In 1945, Rees Roberts painted his important self-portrait The Painter in Mousehole.
The present work appears to be a strong example of this period.
