Lot Essay

Eurich recalls seeing the Queen Mary in his diary entry on 27 March 1936, 'Mavis and I went on the Hotspur ferry down to Calshot and had a magnificent view of her coming up the water and later as she went into dry dock', painting the present work a few days later.

We are very grateful to Philippa Bambach and Christine Clearkin for their assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
