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. The portrait sketch bears some resemblance to Viscountess Castlerosse who was a frequent guest in the same Rivera estates where Churchill visited. Churchill painted her in C 517 and C 518 and gives us a larger picture of the people who inhabited his world. <br><br>Of his approximately 550 works, the largest portion (about 150) were of the South of France, where Churchill could indulge in both the array of colors to apply to his canvas and in gambling, given the proximity of Monte Carlo.

ウィンストン・チャーチルの作品の中でも異彩を放つ「リヴィエラの海岸沿いの町」は、片面が風景画、もう片面が油彩スケッチという二重構造になっている。肖像画のスケッチは、チャーチルが訪れたリヴェラの邸宅に頻繁に滞在していたカストロ子爵夫人に似ている。チャーチルはC 517とC 518で彼女を描いており、彼の世界に住む人々の姿をより大きく描き出している。

約550点の作品のうち、最も多い約150点は南フランスを描いたもので、チャーチルはキャンバスに塗る色彩の豊富さと、モンテカルロに近いことからギャンブルに興じることができた。
