This signed oil painting by Allan B Hewlett offers a beautifully composed mid-century village street scene, factory chimney, terracotta-roofed houses climbing the hillside, telephone cables stretching overhead. The canvas is marked with the artist’s signature bottom-right and shows that distinctive mixture of architectural precision and painterly texture. The other painting in this series was sold at Bonhams in 2010 and no other work of his has made the market since.
It’s a wonderful piece for lovers of British mid-20th-century art, industrial heritage or simply vintage wall décor with atmosphere. The muted palette of soft ochres, greys and greens means it’ll sit beautifully in modern or period interiors alike.
