'The Arrest' although an unsigned limited edition, published three years after the artist's death, has of recent years become quite sought after, particularly as the images become scarcer.

We can see a typical of a man being arrested, by the police who are not wearing the uniforms to which we have become accustomed

Note:- the name of the street, Lowry's humour? 'Police street'

A crowd has gathered, as is so typical of any situation in the streets, passerby interested in the commotion.


The frame measures approx 53cm x 66cm

Lowry is perhaps England's most instantly recognizable painter. He was a solitary, semi-reclusive, individual who developed a highly idiosyncratic style that features firmly drawn industrial backgrounds against which groups or crowds, painted in his signature "matchstick men" style, go about their everyday business.
