The paint is laid on with the knife and the brush in thick, scumbled layers, the yellows and pinks of the walls set against the dark sky and the blue-black shadow of the arch. Georges Simonka (1916–2001), born in Budapest and trained at its school of applied arts, settled in Paris after the war and exhibited at the Salon d’Automne; he painted still lifes and townscapes in a firm, constructed manner with a rich surface. The reverse carries his own title, ‘Vers Tarragon’, the road to Tarragona, in Catalonia.
