"At The Quayside" is a notable painting by the Irish artist Norman Garstin, created in 1889. Garstin, who was born in County Limerick in 1847, is recognized for his contributions to the Newlyn School, an art colony based in Cornwall, England. This painting exemplifies Garstin's adeptness at capturing the quotidian life and the atmospheric effects of the coastal environment, a hallmark of the Newlyn School's artistic focus.

The painting depicts a bustling scene at a quayside, likely inspired by the harbors of Newlyn or Penzance, where Garstin spent much of his career. The composition is characterized by its detailed portrayal of figures engaged in various activities, such as loading and unloading goods, conversing, and attending to maritime tasks. The artist's keen observation of human interaction and his ability to convey the textures and colors of the maritime setting are evident in this work.

Garstin's use of light and shadow in "At The Quayside" demonstrates his mastery of plein air painting, a technique that involves painting outdoors to capture the natural light and atmosphere of the scene. The painting's palette, dominated by earthy tones and muted hues, reflects the overcast skies and the rugged, weather-beaten surfaces typical of a working harbor.

"At The Quayside" not only showcases Garstin's technical skills but also provides a valuable historical snapshot of late 19th-century coastal life. The painting is part of the collection at the Penlee House Gallery and Museum in Penzance, which houses a significant number of works by artists of the Newlyn School. Through this painting, Garstin offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the daily rhythms and communal spirit of a quayside, encapsulating the essence of a bygone era.
