Boys on the harbour wall, Penzance

Harold Harvey trained under Norman Garstin and in the 1890s at the Académie Julian in Paris. He was one of the few Newlyn School painters who was a native Cornishman. His early work was inspired by Garstin and Stanhope Forbes but over time his palette brightened and showed a shift away from the rural naturalism of the early Newlyn School towards a more Impressionist style.
