More about this artwork
John Varley’s evocative painting, "Figures On The Beach At Barmouth, North Wales," captures a serene moment along the dramatic coastline. The painting, set under a vast expanse of sky, features a striking, sharply peaked mountain that dominates the landscape, adding a sense of majestic isolation. In the foreground, the sandy beach serves as a stage for various figures engaged in leisure and work.Small groups of people, some seen talking and others merely enjoying the view, provide a glimpse into daily life beside the sea. A man on the beach appears to be collecting or inspecting items, perhaps a local fisherman tending to his equipment. Nearby, children and dogs add a playful element, contrasting with the grandeur of the natural surroundings.

They collaborated in 1819–1820 on the book Visionary Heads, written by Varley and illustrated by Blake. He was the elder brother of a family of artists: Cornelius Varley, William Fleetwood Varley, and Elizabeth, who married the painter William Mulready.
