1946 P. W. Lamb South African Impressionist Durban Market Oil Painting

Chairish

$1,495

A magnificent, original 1946 mid-century oil painting by listed South African artist Peter Percival William Lamb (1905–1963). Signed and dated "P W LAMB '46" in the lower left corner. This striking post-war Impressionist work features heavy impasto palette-knife work capturing a bustling scene at the historic Durban Indian Market. The composition showcases rich cultural textures, featuring figures in traditional saris, a vibrant yellow Sikh turban, and distinctive red fez headwear set beneath open-air market awnings. Presented in its original vintage tiered Mid-Century Modern wooden frame with gilded inner trim. • Material: Oil on canvas (framed) • Style: Mid-Century Modern • Period: 1940s • Country of Origin: Unknown • Attribution: By listed South African artist Peter Percival William Lamb (signed and dated) Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear consistent with display; the painted surface shows no observed damage. The frame has two particular areas of loss/chipping—one at the top center and one at the lower left (as pictured)—which could likely be touched up if desired; otherwise the piece presents cleanly and is ready to hang. Measurements: H 37.5" x W 29.5" x D 1.5"
