Original Description
William Cave Day's 'Ratty and Fish' - St Ives captures the lively charm of the Cornish fishing village with a whimsical yet nostalgic touch. Painted in the mid-20th century, the work reflects Day’s distinctive style, blending post-impressionist brushwork with a playful narrative sensibility. The scene likely depicts the St Ives harbour, where rugged fishing boats and bustling maritime activity were frequent subjects for local artists. Day was part of the vibrant St Ives artist community, though less renowned than contemporaries like Alfred Wallis or Ben Nicholson. His works, however, hold a unique place for their warmth and anecdotal quality, bridging folk art and modernism. While not a cornerstone of art history, this piece embodies the regional spirit that made St Ives a creative hub, appealing to collectors who cherish its unpretentious storytelling and coastal nostalgia.
For a stylish yet cozy display, consider hanging 'Ratty and Fish' - St Ives in a reading nook or a relaxed office space. Its maritime theme pairs beautifully with nautical blues, weathered wood, or linen textiles in a coastal-inspired interior. The painting’s likely modest size (typical of Day’s works) suits intimate settings—flank it with vintage maps or ceramic fish motifs to enhance the theme. If the palette leans toward soft ochres and sea greens, echo those tones in cushions or a rug for harmony. Avoid overly sleek decor; instead, opt for rustic shelves or a driftwood frame to complement its folk-art energy. In a minimalist office, it adds warmth without clutter, sparking conversation while keeping the focus on its cheerful storytelling.
