Crossing the River, Burma
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by British artist Ernest Procter. The artwork, measuring 50.8x61 cm, depicts a scene in early 20th century Burma, showcasing the artist's mastery of capturing outdoor settings and the passage of time. In this vibrant composition, we see a large group of people waiting on a jetty as they prepare to cross the river. Among them are men, women, children, and even a young boy holding onto his mother's hand. Dressed in traditional attire and accessories that reflect their Southeast Asian heritage, they exude an air of anticipation. The artist skillfully portrays both action and stillness within the painting. Some figures stand patiently while others actively engage with their surroundings or converse with fellow travelers. A woman shields herself from the sun under a parasol as she waits for her turn to board one of the boats docked at the pier. Procter's use of color brings life to this natural space; vibrant blues depict flowing water while warm earth tones evoke lush landscapes surrounding them. Through his brushstrokes and attention to detail, he transports us back in time to witness this momentous crossing. This print captures every nuance of Procter's original masterpiece held in private collection today. It serves as a testament to his talent as an English artist who beautifully merged modernity with traditional British artistry during the early 20th century.
