A twentieth-century naive-style coastal landscape painting depicting a view of the historic Blue Peter Inn and adjacent white-washed buildings in the harbour of Polperro, Cornwall. The work is executed in oil or acrylic on stretched canvas and is rendered in a charmingly simplified folk-art style with blocky, flat forms, simplified perspective, and direct brushwork. The composition depicts the harbour-side pub with its distinctive blue signage alongside neighbouring buildings, a slipway, and a small sailboat moored in the harbour water. The painting is signed with a white-painted monogram in the lower right corner, appearing to consist of the conjoined letters RJ or PJ. The canvas is unframed, exposing the raw tacking edges.
