Dover Front
Bell painted this picture on a trip to Dover in 1938 to fulfill a commission for the International Business Machines Corporation. The finely-observed detail of the hotel on the left, the chalk white cliffs and castle ramparts is typical of the realism of the Euston Road School, with which Bell was closely involved.
Although the artist painted on the spot, he may have used the photograph shown to the left to work on the details in his studio.
