Description


Steven Scholes Signed Original Oil Painting – Liverpool Strand Street Dock Road 1911 Edwardian Cityscape ? Subject & Medium Original oil on canvas by listed British artist Steven Scholes (b.1952). Titled "Strand St (Dock Rd) 1911", this signed Steven Scholes work captures an atmospheric Edwardian Liverpool cityscape on the waterfront. Painted in oil and presented in its original traditional wooden frame, this is a genuine original painting, not a print or reproduction. ? Composition & Technique The scene depicts a wet evening along Strand Street and Dock Road with the distant silhouette of the Liver Building visible through the dockside mist. A row of street lamps and their reflections lead down the cobbled road. Figures, horse-drawn carriages and early motor vehicles populate the street; warm shopfront lighting (including the name “M. Jones”) and brick warehouses provide strong architectural interest. Scholes’ technique uses rich browns and umbers for the wet cobbles, golden and white highlights for gas lamps and windows, and a modulated sky from smoky greys to gentle ochres to convey light, movement and atmosphere. ?? About the Artist Steven Scholes is a professional Lancashire artist, born in 1952. He won the Manchester Evening News Art Competition in 1974 and became a full-time painter by 1978. Scholes is known for vivid historical cityscapes with dramatic light and wet pavements; his work has been exhibited and sold at auction, with a recorded auction price of around $1,660 USD for "City Lights, London 1958".
