Uniquely among Winston Churchill’s known work, “Coastal Town on the Riviera” is in fact a double painting with the landscape on one side and an oil sketch on the other.

Einzigartig unter den bekannten Werken Winston Churchills ist "Coastal Town on the Riviera" in der Tat ein Doppelgemälde mit der Landschaft auf der einen Seite und einer Ölskizze auf der anderen. Die Porträtskizze hat eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit der Viscountess Castlerosse, die häufig in denselben Anwesen in Rivera zu Gast war, die Churchill besuchte. Churchill malte sie in den Jahren C 517 und C 518 und vermittelt uns ein umfassenderes Bild von den Menschen, die seine Welt bewohnten.

Von seinen etwa 550 Werken stammt der größte Teil (ca. 150) aus Südfrankreich, wo Churchill sowohl der Vielfalt an Farben, die er auf seine Leinwand auftragen konnte, als auch dem Glücksspiel in der Nähe von Monte Carlo frönen konnte.
