Additional Description
Roussel was a self-taught French artist, who settled in England in 1878. He befriended Whistler after they became neighbours in 1885, and like Whistler’s, his paintings have a confident, creamy consistency. This picture shows the Ferry Inn at Boddinick, along the Fowey River in Cornwall, which Roussel made an etching of in 1911. Over the following year, he exhibited several oil paintings of the Fowey.
