Not on viewLabel TextBrangwyn was born in Bruges, Belgium, the son of a Welsh decorator and architectural designer. He was largely self-taught as a painter. One of his earliest patrons owned a small fleet of trading ships and, in return for several paintings, offered Brangwyn free travel around the coast of Britain. This painting, done at the pretty little Kentish port of Sandwich, resulted from this journey.
