NO. 9 KITCHEN TABLE

Alfred Wallis painting of a schooner on the surface of his kitchen table

To celebrate St Piran’s Day, here is a wonderful scene of a schooner and Cornish lugger sailing between two lighthouses, which Alfred Wallis painted on the surface of his kitchen table.

Not long after Wallis's death, the table was sold for £100 to a London art dealer who sawed its legs off to get it in his car.
