S. Lowry. Depicting a busy dockside scene, the composition is animated by stylised figures, working vessels, and architectural forms that convey movement, community, and regional nostalgia. Rich in atmosphere and narrative, the work makes a striking decorative statement and will appeal to collectors of Northern art and British social realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Goodlad is a self-taught Manchester artist who returned to painting later in life after a career in the building trade. Having left school with only a pass in Art, he initially worked as a plumber before pursuing formal fine art study in his 50s. Deeply influenced by L. S. Lowry, Goodlad paints industrial and social scenes rooted in his personal understanding of working-class life. His expressive brushwork, stylised figures, and authentic subject matter have earned his work places in private collections across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private UK collection.
