    Mark Osman Curtis, Coastal Scene With Family

    A light-filled impressionistic coastal scene by Scottish painter, Mark Osman Curtis (1879-1959). Here we see a family playing in the sand close to a small jetty with a timber building. The beach is probably somewhere in Skagen, Denmark, as it’s an area that the artist knew well.

    Curtis was an interesting painter that worked under several pseudonyms including Th. Friss. It’s believed that he was a reclusive character that moved to Denmark prior to World War I. He frequently painted the shores of Skagen, which is an area known for its beautiful scenery and white sandy beaches. Perhaps the sea air proved to be a welcome escape.

    The painting is signed Th. Friis in the lower right.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
