拍品专文

Amongst other small oils of the period, The Little Shop can be grouped with The Red Shop (Norwich, Castle Museum) and A Shop in Dieppe (University of Glasgow). Painted in either Dieppe or London, the present work is a classic example of Sickert's Whistlerian-type shop and house fronts, in which he moved from vague definition in some works to a more careful, studied approach in others.
