Description
English: Porthleven, Cornwall

A sketch showing the coastline near Porthleven, Cornwall. It indicates a low viewpoint close to the water's edge. The sea in the foreground on the left shows the waves breaking very close to the viewer with the tops of the waves painted in a thick impasto. The Cornish cliffs are visible in the background on the left and a small sailing dinghy can be seen in the middle distance on the right with one red and one white sail. Following the end of World War I, Everett went to Helston in Cornwall on 28 January 1919. He then moved on to Porthleven before renting a studio at Sennen, which he chose for its good view of the sea, staying there until 11 May 1919.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1949, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
