A red double-deck tram pauses amid classic architecture as a uniformed British policeman directs pedestrians across the street. Painted with confident, expressive brushwork and rich nostalgic detail, the scene conveys both movement and civic order. Presented framed and ready to hang, the work is in exceptional mint condition and represents a rare collector’s opportunity, having come directly from the artist’s estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeith Gardner R.C.A.
