A beautiful oil on panel by Scottish artist James Kyd, capturing a tender maritime scene titled “Packing for Market – The Morning’s Take, Teignmouth, Devonshire.” The composition centres on a fisherman sorting the day’s catch into a large wicker basket while a young girl looks on. The work is rich in charm: the early‑morning light, the glistening catch, and the domestic intimacy between the two figures all contribute to a scene that feels both authentic and deeply human. The painting is housed in an ornate gilt frame and retains a wonderful handwritten label to the reverse, giving the title and location, along with the name and Edinburgh address of James Boyd, likely an early owner or framer. The reference to Goupil’s Gallery — later crossed out — adds an intriguing note of exhibition or sales history. A charming and characterful example of Kyd’s work, combining maritime realism with a warm sense of storytelling.
