Title and artist inscribed to verso

An oil painting on canvas board by very well-listed American landscape painter Harry Leith-Ross (Pennsylvania; 1886 – 1973), titled Dock-Workers – Morning Break. As the title suggests, the painting depicts several figures lounging near a row of boathouses lining a dock. The painting is completed in loose, brushy strokes of paint in a muted palette of peach, teal, and a beige. This work is signed to the lower right. It is presented in a brown moulded frame with a hanging wire to the verso.

Leith-Ross was born in Mauritius and moved to the United States in 1903. He had worked in a commercial art studio, and at a late age began studies at the Art Students League Summer School (Woodstock), the National Academy of Design (New York City), and the Academie Julien (Paris). He went on live and work at the famed Bucks County artists’ colony in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Leith-Ross was a member of the Allied Art Association, the American Federation of Arts, the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, and the Salmagundi Club.
