An original oil on board by New Zealand born artist John Leonard Checkley.
Checkley was born in New Zealand but moved to America in 1948 and was settled in San Francisco by the 1950s.
Checkley’s paintings of the Bay area with their distinctive style and charm gained him immediate recognition and an enthusiastic international following.
This particular painting is set during the evening and focusses on a busy lamp-lit street with people on either side and a cable car passing through. In view in the background is the Oakland Bay Bridge highlighted in white.
The painting is in an original period frame. It does have some small marks and light wear.
Frame measures 30cm x 25cm
Aperture measures 24.5cm x 19.5cm
