A stunning midcentury abstract oil on board by the listed artist William Ernst Burwell (1911-1974). Beatifully painted with heavily applied textures. It is in its original gallery frame of painted softwood. We have obtained several of the artists works from his studio. Painting has the artists gallery label to the reverse. Condition of painting is very good. The original frame has bumped corners, some marks and some overpainting where the artist has touched up the edge of the painting, but is generally good.The painter and stage designer William Ernst Burwell, FRSA was born in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire. He studied at Hull College of Art and Brighton School of Art and showed at the RA, NEAC and elsewhere in Britain and overseas.

The many film sets of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s on which he worked included ''Oliver Twist'' and the ''Black Narcissus''. His work is in the permanent collection of the Imperial War Museum.
